What Is Oncology Massage? Oncology Massage is a healing modality used as a complementary therapy in clinical and integrative care settings. Many hospitals, clinics, and cancer or wellness centers increasingly recognize the power of touch to promote health and well-being to their patients. Recent research is creating a new understanding of those benefits for people of all ages, from patients undergoing treatment for complex medical conditions to others simply wanting to alleviate stress. Comfort, stress reduction and relaxation are some benefits of an oncology massage session. Whatever the specific goals, oncology massage is always safe. 30 Minutes $75 60 Minutes $125 |

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Vodder® Certified Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage or MLD is for patients with Lymphedema as well as post operative care for Liposuction and other cosmetic surgeries. MLD is also used as a treatment for patients who develop Lymphedema as a result of Breast Cancer and other surgeries and/or radiation. MLD is a specialized form of soft tissue mobilization that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immune mechanisms. The system’s network of vessels and nodes contains lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, waste products, and other remnants of cell metabolism. Lymph nodes, which filter out the debris, are found throughout the body, with especially large groups of them in the neck, axilla, and groin. These major collections of lymph nodes ensure that the lymph passes through as many nodes as possible before it returns to the circulatory system. During a lymph drainage session, a certified, specially-trained therapist uses a series of motions over the client’s body. The light rhythmic movements, applied without oil, stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move through the tissues and lymph nodes.

Massage used to be considered an indulgence but it’s now recognized as a legitimate therapy for some painful conditions. Therapeutic massage may relieve pain by way of several mechanisms, including relaxing painful muscles, tendons, and joints; relieving stress and anxiety; and possibly helping to “close the pain gate” by stimulating competing nerve fibers and impeding pain messages to and from the brain. Therapeutic massage can be used to treat a range of conditions, the most common of which is low back pain, followed by neck and shoulder pain. I also use therapeutic massage to treat headaches, jaw pain and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ), Sciatica and other conditions. Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is tranquil, soothing and simply unforgettable. A massage need not leave you in pain to be effective. This treatment is the ideal antidote for a sore, stressed out you. Its purpose is to help balance your sense of well-being by relaxing the body and relieving the mind. Normally administered with a mix of light to moderate pressure. 30 Minutes $75 60 Minutes $125 90 Minutes $175 Therapeutic Massage with MLD (Vodder® Certified) For those clients who are requesting both lymphatic drainage and therapeutic massage.
