I have had the pleasure of practicing massage therapy since Thanks to the experience I have acquired over these many years, I have developed a flexible approach that can be easily adapted to individual needs. While my initial training was in Swedish massage techniques , I am now able to incorporate various other complementary techniques as well.
Massage therapy has many well-known benefits. It can be used to treat a wide range of health issues muscle and joint pain, tendinitis, stiff neck, sciatica, stress, insomnia, etc. Therapeutic massage helps relieve pain caused by individual or cumulative strains and injuries. When necessary, I can apply pressure on very specific pressure points to achieve a deeper effect. I can also incorporate fascia therapy , a highly effective technique for relaxing the connective tissue that surrounds muscles, bones, organs and other body structures.
If what you seek is an overall deep sense of relaxation , I can give you a massage that will make you feel completely rejuvenated. Your general health can only improve when the stress that has built up in your body over the course of a day is alleviated: This is how massage therapy helps you restore your sense of balance, relief and well-being.
In addition to my initial training, I completed an exhaustive hour training program at the Dr. Vodder Academy in Germany in The basic aim of this technique is to stimulate lymph circulation so that it better fulfills its natural role in cleansing the body. Manual lymph drainage facilitates and accelerates lymph circulation when the lymphatic system is not working at full capacity. This therapy has many beneficial effects: It is very relaxing, relieves pain and acts as a decongestant reduces swelling known as edema caused by the accumulation of lymph in a part of the body.
Lymph can be drained manually on any part of the body face, neck, arms, abdomen, back, glutes and legs. The examples provided below are minor cases where the lymphatic system is functional and manual lymph drainage can be used as a stand-alone treatment. After an injury or trauma e. After orthopedic or esthetic surgery e. Heavy legs e. In cases of lymphedema, where the lymphatic system is damaged , the treatment is more complex and combined decongestive therapy is necessary.
