I offer several modalities for care of lipedema.
Relaxation-Recovery Massage
60 Minutes — $75Recovery massage begins by opening lymphatic channels and utilizing a generalized massage protocol for a smooth, gentle treatment which helps to relieve muscular tension, reduce stress, increase circulation — and thereby lymph flow — and relieve pain. Recovery massage utilizes light to medium pressure over the back, neck, and extremities. Sessions close with modified Thai foot massage.
Manual Lymph Drainage
60 Minutes — $75The focus of manual lymphatic drainage is on the lymphatic system, in the area between the skin and muscle, unlike regular massage, which focuses on muscle. Utilizing the Vodder technique, MLD involves a very light touch that should never be painful. MLD is effective for lipedema, lymphedema, preop and postop clients, cancer clients, and for detoxing and general health. MLD is also useful in healing from cosmetic surgery.
Scar Release Massage
30 Minutes — $40
60 Minutes — $75Scar release therapy is a non-invasive treatment which uses gentle microcurrent stimulation and friction massage to to begin softening underlying tissues. This massage is helpful for scars which feel painful or tight. These sessions include targeted microcurrent therapy, hands-on scar work, and lymphatic techniques. Scar release is deeply therapeutic, whether your scar is weeks, months, or years old. This therapy not only enhances the appearance of scars, making them less noticeable, but also alleviating associated pain and improving mobility in the area.
Reflexology Lymph Drainage
60 Minutes — $55This award-winning protocol stimulates reflex points in a unique sequence which aids the function of the lymphatic system. This method assists with lymphedema and lipedema and has been used in lieu of whole-body manual lymphatic drainage treatments. Sessions include percussion and hot towels and close with modified Thai foot massage.
