People who move
Are you active or want to be more active in your life? Do you feel sore or are not performing well? Do you want to improve your activity and performance? Massage, lymphatic work, and visceral manipulation can help you recover and improve your game.
Lymphatic drainage helps clear out the body’s tissues of all the waste it generates while using its muscles. The massage therapies offered help to release the muscles so they are ready to perform and function better during your next game or practice. If you are injured or not able to perform at the level you prefer, we can work on correcting your form and help make your physical body functional again. Similarly, if your organs and internal body systems are feeling sluggish and suboptimal, for instance if you are constipated or bloated, you will not be able to move in the ways that you want. Visceral manipulation can help up your game from issues like bladder control to releasing your shoulders, muscles, joints and so much more.
There are a lot of recovery tools out there like cryo-chambers, compression pants, and other technologies to help your recovery. I am in full support of these tools and our sessions can help make their use in your training or recovery even more effective. Book a session with Posture Massage and learn what to do before, during, and after your trainings/work outs to make them most effective.
People who have scars or swelling
Whatever kind of surgery you are having, you will likely have scars. Our massage therapies can ensure that your scar tissue is minimal after injuries or surgeries. We can help you get your fluidity in movement back. Prepping your tissue through lymphatic drainage will help the tissue cut and heal easier. Restrictions in your flesh happen after injury or surgery from the tissue's main goal of closing holes and healing. This process your body undertakes is to minimize risk of infection but is also what causes scars to form. Sessions with Posture Massage can help your tissues get the "rivers of water" or lymphatic fluid flowing back to where it should be in order to clean, hydrate your tissues, and get more movement with better healing.
An example of scar reduction and healing from clients that we have helped are the scars from breast cancer and breast augmentation, which can affect the whole shoulder girdle and can take significant time for the patient to get their full range of motion back. By working with the tissues and using the lymphatic system to help break up and clean the area, scars shrink and become more functional. An additional bonus is that scar puckering also generally diminishes and or goes away.
Old scars can also be helped and become less intense with our sessions. By using the same technique to get the water flowing through the area, the lymph can clean out the tissue and get the area hydrated, this in turn helps the tissue move and breaks down any unnecessary scarring.
Having at least one session before and two or more sessions after your surgery is ideal. Getting your tissue prepped and well-hydrated will help ensure that your surgery goes better and will also take out any preliminary swelling in the area. Our lymph sessions after the surgery will focus on getting the "rivers of lymph" flowing and routed correctly again, as well as help to clean out the tissues from the anesthesia or other drugs used.
We also work quite closely with people undergoing cancer treatments. Once you have completed your treatments we can start work clearing out the drugs from your tissues. Keep in mind that clients have often reported their bowel movements are similar to when they were going through treatments. This is a good thing, since the medications and chemicals used in cancer treatments can finally be released from being stuck in your body's tissues.
