An extremely gentle full body technique, lymphatic massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on movement of the skin only. The strokes are light in pressure, rhythmic, and circular, to encourage a meditative, silent, deep relaxation. To most effectively stimulate lymphatic fluid flow, no oil or lotion is used.Â
The lymphatic system is responsible for moving toxins and excess materials out of our tissues and into the circulatory system for removal or re-use. Lymphatic massage greatly supports this process, which will improve your feeling of vitality, health and well being.
Lymphatic massage is an immunity boosting technique, ideal for clients with allergies or sensitivities to products/scents, or for those who find Swedish and deep tissue massage uncomfortable or painful. Lymphatic massage is particularly helpful for clients suffering with chronic fatigue, sluggish immune systems, excess stress, depression or problems with mild swelling or excessive cellulite.
Lymphatic massage will leave you feeling pampered, de-stressed, and deeply relaxed!
Injuries, muscle dysfunction and daily postural habits that cause muscle pain and soreness respond exceptionally well to therapeutic massage. Laurie is skilled in the therapeutic massage techniques required to reduce pain, improve postural alignment and increase or normalize range of motion in the body.Â
The benefits of Swedish and therapeutic massage include relief from back pain, frozen shoulder, neck strain and other aches and pains, decreased stress levels, extreme relaxation, enhanced mental clarity, decreased blood pressure, and greater flexibility. Swedish massage is especially great for clients who like firm pressure full body massage that "works out the knots".Â
Laurie's therapeutic and Swedish massage style draws from a wide range of techniques, always focused and tailored to your preferences:Â light to deep tissue massage, vibrational and friction techniques, gentle stretching and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching - all in a warm, calming atmosphere, to bring relaxation and release of tight muscles, stress, and any postural restrictions that may be present in your body.
