Prenatal. Scar tissue is completely different. When your body repairs an injury from surgery, a fall, or torn muscle , if it’s not treated correctly, it will glue together, and harden, and stay that way! That’s a reason you need a masseuse!
They are now specializing in lymphatic drainage! When you visit a massage therapist for a lymphatic system treatment, you receive a specialized session of a manual lymphatic drainage, this massage is entirely different from traditional massages. The lymphatic system sits directly beneath the skin, the techniques must be incredibly light and precise to work effectively. This is to target the tissue layer and amount of pressure used, where as a deep tissue massage aggressively manipulates the muscles. Different styles target specific health outcomes, ranging from chronic pain and immune support. Incorporating body work into your routine reduces cortisol, which reduces joint inflammation, and improves sleep quality!
It is wonderful when you find a practice that operates with that level of genuine heart and clinical integrity. Finding a team that does watch the clock, but consistently goes above and beyond to give you a full unhurried session is rare and valuable!
When practitioners, like Susan and Joy, are truly passionate about wellness, it transforms the entire experience from a simple luxury into essential healthcare-level maintenance! These talented women, many times crossover their techniques during their sessions, which is unique in itself, and this is why they are superb in what they do! When they invest the time to multiple distinct modalities, like what they offer, they stop following a rigid, routine script, they gain the unique ability to read and listen to your body, in real time, adapting their style, second by second, based on what your tissues actually needs!
Their prices are extremely reasonable, go visit them, get healthy, you’ll love them!!!
