MASSAGE THERAPY

Clinical Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment (CMLDT) is an advanced, medically informed, and highly targeted manual therapy designed to address specific clinical conditions involving lymphatic dysfunction, fluid congestion, inflammation, and impaired tissue recovery. This is not general massage therapy—it is a precise therapeutic intervention grounded in lymphatic anatomy, physiology, and evidence-informed rehabilitation principles.

Our practice provides specialized CMLDT care for conditions such as plastic and cosmetic post-operative recovery, lymphedema, lipedema, heavy legs, and complex fluid-related or inflammatory presentations. Each treatment is carefully tailored to the individual, recognizing that both the physical body and the emotional experience of healing must be supported. We harmonize clinical precision with compassion and sensitivity, creating bespoke care pathways that restore balance, promote recovery, and empower long-term well-being.

Our expert clinicians utilize advanced integrative functional manual rehabilitation techniques to stimulate lymphatic flow, enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and support detoxification at the tissue level. Treatment strategies are selected and sequenced based on medical history, surgical procedures, lymphatic integrity, and the body’s real-time response, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.

Rooted in clinical expertise, our advanced manual treatments are designed to:

• Support recovery following liposuction, plastic surgery, and reconstructive procedures

• Reduce post-operative swelling, fibrosis, and discomfort

• Prevent prolonged swelling and secondary lymphedema

• Improve tissue healing, mobility, and scar quality

• Support immune function and detoxification pathways

CMLDT is also an integral component of care for individuals managing chronic lymphatic and inflammatory conditions, including lymphedema, lipedema, autoimmune disorders, oncology-related concerns, orthopedic injuries, and complex chronic health conditions. When appropriate, treatments are adapted to support long-term health optimization, nervous system regulation, and overall functional resilience.

The Adhesion Release Method is a targeted, hands-on manual therapy approach designed to identify and gently release fibrotic restrictions and adhesions within the body’s connective tissue layers. These adhesions commonly develop following surgery, trauma, inflammation, repetitive strain, or prolonged immobility.

Adhesions occur when the normal glide between tissues—such as skin, fascia, muscle, nerves, or organ interfaces—is disrupted. Instead of moving independently, these layers become abnormally bound together by excessive collagen and fibrosis. This binding alters biomechanics, restricts circulation and lymphatic flow, increases mechanical stress on nerves and joints, and often contributes to chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.

This method utilizes slow, precise, and intentional manual input to assess tissue depth, directionality, and resistance. Techniques may include sustained pressure, directional loading, gentle shear, and decompression applied along the specific plane of restriction. Rather than forcefully breaking tissue, the Adhesion Release Method works by neurologically and mechanically signaling the tissue to soften, rehydrate, and restore glide—allowing adhesions to release gradually and safely.

The process is comparable to carefully untangling a delicate necklace: patience, sensitivity, and precision are essential. By respecting tissue tolerance and the nervous system’s role in guarding, this approach minimizes inflammation while encouraging long-term structural change.

This is a non-surgical method recognized for addressing adhesions through precise manual pressure, stretching, and guided movement. Such approaches aim to reduce scar tissue in muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fascia—helping restore mobility and function in conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, sciatica, frozen shoulder, and post-surgical restriction.

Overall, the Adhesion Release Method supports the body’s natural capacity for repair by restoring tissue glide, improving circulation and lymphatic drainage, reducing nerve irritation, and reestablishing healthy movement patterns—without force, surgery, or aggressive intervention.

Complex Orthopedic Massage Therapy is an advanced, clinically informed manual therapy approach designed to address musculoskeletal pain, movement dysfunction, and post-injury or post-surgical complications that do not respond adequately to single-technique or symptom-focused treatment. This service integrates multiple evidence-informed manual therapy modalities into one cohesive, highly customized session, with the goal of restoring functional movement, reducing pain, and improving overall biomechanical efficiency.

Many orthopedic conditions are layered and adaptive in nature. Pain is often not confined to the site of injury but emerges from compensatory patterns involving joints, muscles, fascia, nerves, and connective tissue chains. Scar tissue, inflammation, altered movement mechanics, protective muscle guarding, and nervous system sensitization can all contribute to ongoing dysfunction. Complex Orthopedic Massage is designed specifically for these multifactorial presentations, where standard massage or isolated techniques fall short.

Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, this approach evaluates how the body functions as an integrated system. Joints, muscles, fascia, and neural structures are assessed for restriction, imbalance, and altered load distribution. Dysfunction in one area frequently creates compensatory strain elsewhere—such as hip restrictions contributing to low-back pain, shoulder instability affecting the neck, or ankle immobility altering knee and pelvic mechanics. Complex Orthopedic Massage identifies these interconnected patterns and addresses the root contributors, not just the site of pain.

Detox Massage combined with Clinical Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment (CMLDT) is a specialized, supportive therapy designed for individuals affected by mold/Lyme exposure and Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). These conditions place a heavy burden on the body’s detoxification systems—particularly the lymphatic, immune, neurological, and connective tissue networks—often resulting in persistent inflammation, toxin retention, fatigue, pain, brain fog, and poor recovery.

This therapy does not claim to cure mold/Lyme illness or CIRS. Instead, it provides physiological support by enhancing lymphatic circulation, reducing inflammatory congestion, improving tissue hydration and glide, and calming an overactivated nervous system—key factors in supporting the body during medical detoxification and recovery protocols.

Systematic Manual Nerve Release Therapy is a specialized, structured soft-tissue therapy designed to reduce nerve irritation, restore healthy neural glide, and normalize nerve signaling by gently addressing stagnations and restrictions including scar tissues (fibrosis/adhesions)  within muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and surrounding connective tissues. These restrictions commonly develop due to repetitive use, overload, postural strain, trauma, surgery, or prolonged inflammation, and can compromise both mechanical and neurological function.

This method uses precise, hands-on techniques that integrate intentional deep-to-gentle compression with controlled movement and neurodynamic mobilization (nerve gliding and flossing). By applying specific, graded tension along neural pathways while guiding patient movement, the therapist helps decompress, stretch, floss and free entrapped nerves, soften scar tissue and adhesions, improve tissue hydration and glide, and restore efficient neural communication.

When connective tissue becomes stagnated and fibrotic tissue and adhesions accumulate, nerves may become compressed, tethered, or sensitized, disrupting circulation and signal conduction. This can lead to symptoms such as muscle weakness, numbness, aching, tingling, burning sensations, and nerve entrapment patterns. Systematic Manual Nerve Release supports neural decompression, enhances circulation and oxygen delivery, improves fascial and tissue mobility, and re-establishes neuromuscular balance.

This therapy is commonly used to address sciatica, carpal tunnel–type presentations, repetitive strain injuries, post-surgical nerve involvement, and chronic pain patterns driven by restricted neural mobility. By allowing nerves to glide freely within their surrounding tissues, Systematic Manual Nerve Release helps normalize sensation, reduce pain, calm nervous system reactivity, and support long-term functional restoration rather than temporary symptom relief.

Integrative Oncology Massage combined with Clinical Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment (CMLDT) is a specialized, evidence-informed therapeutic approach designed to support individuals before, during, and after cancer treatment. This therapy is not a conventional massage. It is a medically adapted, patient-centered intervention that works in alignment with oncology care plans to support healing, reduce treatment-related side effects, and promote long-term functional recovery.

Cancer treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and long-term medications place significant stress on the body’s lymphatic, nervous, vascular, and fascial systems. Even when treatment is successful, patients often experience persistent swelling, pain, fibrosis, restricted mobility, fatigue, scar tissue formation, and nervous system dysregulation. Integrative Oncology Massage and Clinical MLD Treatment address these challenges by supporting the body’s natural repair mechanisms without overstimulation or risk.

Integrative Abdominal Detox Therapy is a specialized, non-invasive manual therapy designed to restore healthy abdominal function by supporting digestion, lymphatic drainage, organ mobility, and nervous system regulation. This therapy addresses common yet often overlooked contributors to constipation, bloating, abdominal heaviness, slowed digestion, medication-related gut disruption (including GLP-1 medications), hormonal imbalance, and chronic abdominal tension.

Unlike traditional massage that focuses on surface muscles, this integrative approach works with the deeper abdominal systems—including the digestive organs, fascial layers, lymphatic vessels, and autonomic nervous system—to gently re-establish movement, circulation, and communication within the gut–brain–hormone axis.

Why the Abdomen Matters

The abdomen is a central hub for:

• Digestion and waste elimination

• Hormone metabolism and clearance (estrogen, cortisol, insulin)

• Lymphatic drainage and immune activity

• Autonomic nervous system regulation (parasympathetic “rest and digest”)

When abdominal tissues become congested, restricted, or under-stimulated—due to stress, surgery, sedentary lifestyle, medications, dehydration, or hormonal shifts—symptoms such as bloating, constipation, sluggish metabolism, reflux, abdominal pain, and fatigue can develop.

GLP-1 medications, while effective for weight management and metabolic health, commonly slow gastric emptying and intestinal motility, making targeted abdominal support especially important.

Thai Twist is a comprehensive, full-body functional stretching experience designed to restore mobility, release neural tension, and recalibrate the body from the inside out. This advanced session blends assisted Thai-inspired stretching, joint mobilization, and targeted nerve flossing into a seamless 360-degree reset for the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

Unlike passive stretching or traditional flexibility sessions, Thai Twist™ works dynamically through multiple planes of movement—addressing muscles, fascia, joints, and nerves simultaneously. The body is guided through controlled rotations, twists, decompression, and elongation to improve joint range of motion, reduce stiffness, and restore natural movement patterns.

A key component of this therapy is nerve flossing, a gentle yet highly effective technique that helps free nerves that have become restricted by tension, inflammation, scar tissue, or postural strain. By improving neural glide and communication, Thai Twist™ can reduce pain, tingling, numbness, and movement hesitation while enhancing coordination and body awareness.

This treatment is ideal for individuals experiencing:

• Chronic stiffness or limited mobility

• Nerve-related discomfort (sciatic pain, neck/arm tension, postural nerve irritation)

• Athletic overuse or repetitive strain

• Post-surgical or post-injury movement restriction (when medically appropriate)

• High stress, nervous system fatigue, or “stuck” patterns in the body

Clients often report feeling lighter, more open, deeply relaxed, and significantly more mobile—both physically and neurologically—after a session.

Benefits include:

• Improved flexibility and joint mobility

• Decompression of the spine and major joints

• Enhanced nerve glide and nervous system regulation

• Reduced muscular and fascial tension

• Improved posture, balance, and movement efficiency

Thai Twist is performed fully clothed and is customized to each client’s body, goals, and limitations. It may be enjoyed as a standalone session or integrated into a larger rehabilitation, recovery, or longevity-focused treatment plan.

Lymphatic Reset Therapy combined with diet, hydration, lifestyle modification and gentle lymphatic exercise is a gentle yet powerful therapeutic approach designed to reboot the body’s lymphatic system, restore fluid balance, and calm the nervous system. Rather than forcing drainage, this therapy works with the body’s natural rhythms—encouraging lymph to move efficiently, tissues to soften, and systems to re-regulate.

Using light, precise manual techniques, breath-guided stimulation, and strategic lymph node activation, Lymphatic Reset Therapy helps clear stagnation caused by surgery, inflammation, stress, trauma, hormonal shifts, or chronic overload. The goal is not just temporary relief, but a true reset—improving circulation, immune function, and tissue health at a foundational level.

This therapy supports:

    •    Reduction of swelling, puffiness, and fluid retention

    •    Detoxification and metabolic waste clearance

    •    Nervous system down-regulation (rest-and-repair mode)

    •    Improved immune response and tissue healing

    •    Relief from heaviness, pressure, and chronic congestion

Ideal for post-surgical recovery, lipedema, lymphedema, hormonal imbalance, autoimmune conditions, chronic fatigue, and high-stress lifestyles, Lymphatic Reset Therapy is both clinically informed and deeply restorative.

Clients often report feeling lighter, clearer, calmer, and more integrated—physically and neurologically—after just one session.

Think of it as rebooting the body’s internal drainage and communication system, allowing everything else to function more efficiently once again.

Vagus Nerve Reset Therapy (often mistakenly called “bogus nerve”) is a calming, neuro-regulatory therapy designed to quiet chronic stress, reduce anxiety, and shift the body out of constant fight-or-flight mode and back into rest-and-repair.

When stress, trauma, illness, surgery, or prolonged emotional overload keeps the nervous system stuck in survival mode, the vagus nerve—the body’s main parasympathetic pathway—can become underactive. This leads to symptoms such as anxiety, racing thoughts, shallow breathing, poor sleep, digestive issues, inflammation, and a constant sense of overwhelm.

Vagus Nerve Reset Therapy uses gentle, targeted techniques to re-educate and stimulate this nerve, helping the brain and body feel safe again. Sessions may include:

    •    Light manual stimulation along the neck, jaw, diaphragm, abdomen, and cranial pathways

    •    Breath-guided regulation to improve vagal tone

    •    Gentle lymphatic and fascial techniques that calm sensory overload

    •    Subtle craniosacral-style holds to downshift the nervous system

Benefits may include:

    •    Reduced anxiety and panic responses

    •    Improved stress resilience and emotional regulation

    •    Deeper breathing and better sleep quality

    •    Improved digestion and gut-brain communication

    •    Lower inflammation and muscle tension

    •    A restored sense of calm, clarity, and grounding

This therapy is especially helpful for individuals experiencing chronic stress, burnout, anxiety disorders, trauma recovery, post-surgical nervous system shock, autoimmune conditions, hormonal imbalance, or nervous system dysregulation from long-term illness.

Think of Vagus Nerve Reset Therapy as gently reminding your body that the danger has passed—allowing it to release survival mode and return to balance, safety, and self-healing.
