Lymphatic Massage helps your body get rid of dietary toxins and greatly support any cleansing program you are in. The key behind detoxification massage is movement. We employ a series of rhythmic movements that stimulate your body. The massage movements include irregular and altering applications of pressure that gently compress and stretch your muscle tissues.
- The lymphatic system is one of the main elimination systems of the body that is integral in the detoxification process.
- It is responsible for the absorption of food nutrients and it also creates a waste disposal system in your body.
- With the series of strokes, detoxification massage aids your lymphatic system to clear dietary toxins and other unwanted substances. These body toxins are actually by-products of stress, dead cells, heavy metals and other excess debris from your cells.
- You can also enhance your immune system, strengthen the muscles, aid in weight balancing (since it is a non oil massage it can be used on the HCG program,) and toughen your connective tissue.
- The massage therapy session can remove blockages of the circulatory system.
- In addition, detoxification massage can also help prevent health conditions including fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, weight imbalance, and other system dysfunctions that result from the presence of toxins in your body.
- Some people also attest that massage therapy can help them in keeping their mental status at a normal level.
- With Lymphatic Drainage Massage, your muscles are relaxed, detoxification is enhanced.
- Receiving lymphatic massage during pregnancy can help relieve the unique aches and pains caused by extra weight, swelling, shifting body alignment, and changing hormones. Research has shown that regular pregnancy massage actually contributes to shorter labor and can reduce complications.
- If are pregnant, you may want to obtain permission from your doctor for massage.

Cranial Sacral Therapy is gentle, subtle, hands-on, & non-invasive therapy. It aids the release of restrictions throughout the body while creating a profound sense of relaxation. The rhythm or Energy-Pulse, known as the Cranial-Sacral Rhythm is a core rhythm and structure of the central nervous system & its cerebrospinal fluid system, & its glandular systems that relate to, feed, & affect the entire body as it engages this self-healing process. CS uses no more than 5 grams of pressure to stimulate the nourishing fluids in rhythmic waves around every cell which is surrounded by what is known as the ?body sock' or connective tissue & interstitial fluid structure. Fascia connects every cell in the body by creating what is known as the ?body-sock' pathways for lymph & energy to bathe every cell. This Cranial Sacral Wave of energy & fluids addresses the central nervous system, lymph, and hormones. The CS energetic-pulse allows healing & balance to occur on many levels. It balances the cerebrospinal system with the immune, lymphatic, cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, glandular, connective, muscular, & skeletal systems to encourage substantial improvements. The use of palpation & listening skills to read energy, follow, & support the unwinding & release of basic dysfunctions & imbalances in the CS rhythm. CS therapy gently works with the skull, its cranial sutures, meningeal membranes, the Dural tube, the spine, diaphragm, sacrum, & fascia as the body's natural healing pathways. The restrictions of nerve passages are eased as the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is optimized, thus allowing tissues, misaligned bones, & organs to align and balance. Most recipients experience increased physical vitality and improvement of their body's overall well being, opening of their sinuses, increased stamina, & many other benefits.

The CS net work pumps fluids around cells at phenomenal rates, so please drink water before & after treatments. An Epsom salt bath before bed is also very beneficial. Dress in loose clothes not jeans.
