Medical Massage is a form of massage treatment designed to resolve medical conditions that are diagnosed by a physician.  Medical Massage is also used with clients who desire focused work on a certain muscle group.  Medical Massage is often used with clients who have had an acute trauma or has been in a motor vehicle accident. With a more in depth intake and assessment of the client’s condition, Medical Massage may focus on releasing scar tissue, reducing inflammation, increasing range of motion in joints, injury recovery from trauma or surgeries, and teaching clients better body mechanics. Sessions are more frequent and can be intense depending on the condition.  Medical Massage only focuses on the specific muscle group or joint disfunction and generally, is not a full body massage.  Tools like gua sha, cupping or kinesiology tape are sometimes used.

Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle light massage that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and waste clearing system.  Lymphatic fluid allows for toxins, inflammation, proteins, cancer cells, viruses, dead cells, and other metabolic waste to be passed out of the body through your digestive and urinary system.  Manual lymphatic drainage helps to remove fluid 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins or inflammation are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells.  Lymphatic Drainage helps the nervous system to relax from fight or flight mode.  This technique is used to reduce the swelling around nerves and joints to decreases nerve pain.  Clients seek out Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage for wide range of symptoms and conditions.  Immune system recovery, auto-immune conditions, arthritis, inflammatory conditions, nerve pain, anxiety, stress, acute trauma and injury, and surgeries are a few conditions that lymphatic drainage is used for.

Shiatsu is a Japanese massage technique based on the meridian system of the body that uses finger pressure to help redirect your body's chi.  It is sometimes called acupuncture massage.

It is believed that there needs to be a cloth barrier to better feel the energetic connection with the meridian system.
