THERAPEUTIC & DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE
For rehabilitation of injured, overused or stressed muscles and to decrease chronic and acute pain. Many techniques are utilized including trigger point therapy, muscle stripping, and some cranial techniques.
RELAXATION MASSAGE
A light rhythmic massage aimed at getting your heart rate down and your parasympathetic nervous system engaged.
CANCER CARE
I have additional training in massage therapy during radiation and chemotherapy treatments, as well as treating side effects such as Lymphedema (see right), Axillary Web Syndrome, Scar Management and Mobility Issues.
An appointment pre-surgery allows for baseline measurements of limb circumference and lymphedema education, so you know what to look for in spotting lymphedema and what to avoid, as well as discussions around mobility restrictions post-surgery and the importance of scar management.

60 minutes (110.62 +14.38) $125

LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Indicated for general enhancement of your immune system functioning and over-all health. When the lymph system works well, we feel healthy and have a strong defense against illness. When it’s sluggish or blocked—say after surgery or an injury—we can have swelling, feel tired, and be more susceptible to colds and infections. Lymphatic massage is also a component of CDT.
COMBINED DECONGESTIVE THERAPY (CDT)
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' tab for more on the treatment protocol.
If your lymphedema is due to cancer intervention you must have a clear pathology report before treatment can begin.
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.
