Manual Lymphatic Massage, also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), is a gentle massage technique designed to support the natural movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluids while supporting immune function and circulation.
This specialized technique uses light, rhythmic movements and directional strokes to encourage lymph flow toward the body’s lymph nodes, where fluid can be filtered and processed naturally.
Deep Tissue Massage is a therapeutic massage technique that focuses on the deeper layers of muscles, connective tissue, and fascia to address chronic tension, muscle tightness, and areas of discomfort. Using slow, deliberate strokes and targeted pressure, the therapist works to release adhesions (muscle knots), improve mobility, and restore proper muscle function.
This massage is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing chronic pain, postural imbalances, repetitive strain, sports-related tension, or restricted movement. Pressure is adjusted according to each client’s comfort level and therapeutic needs to effectively target deeper muscle structures while promoting relaxation and recovery.
Recommended Attire: Clients undress to their comfort level and are professionally always draped to ensure privacy, comfort, and modesty throughout the session. Some tenderness may be experienced following treatment as the body adjusts and recovers.
