THERAPEUTIC & DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE

RELAXATION MASSAGE
A light rhythmic massage aimed at getting your heart rate down and your parasympathetic nervous system engaged.
MASSAGE CARE DURING CANCER TREATMENT
I have additional training in massage therapy during radiation and chemotherapy treatment, as well in treating Axillary Web Syndrome (see to the right). Research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center states that, "...massage therapy helps reduce pain, mood disturbance,and fatigue in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It can reduce psychological and neurological complications and provide comfort to patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Massage also improves sleep and reduces depression in patients with advanced cancer."

LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Indicated for general enhancement of your immune system functioning. This is also a component of CDT.
COMBINED DECONGESTIVE THERAPY
The gold standard treatment protocol for management of swelling and lymphedema. In the initial phase of treatment clients are seen at least 2 times per week, weening off over consecutive weeks. Treatment intensity is dependent on the extent of the lymphedema and the client's compliance with home-care. See 'ABOUT LYMPHEDEMA' for more on treatment protocol.
(Some lymphedema responds well to taping between lymphatic drainage sessions, which I also offer.)
CORDING (AXILLARY WEB SYNDROME)
A common side effect of breast cancer surgery, axillary web syndrome (also known as cording) as well as soft tissue restrictions from surgical intervention are treatable.
