MLD is a specialized, light-touch therapy designed to support the body’s lymphatic system—a critical part of your immune and circulatory systems. Using precise, rhythmic movements, this technique encourages natural drainage of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, promote detoxification, and improve circulation.
Medical massage therapy is a specialized form of manual therapy that focuses on specific areas of the body to address targeted health conditions and injuries.

Ideal for individuals dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or musculoskeletal issues, this area-focused approach helps to effectively treat localized problems, supporting the body’s natural healing process and enhancing overall physical well-being.
Assessment is done prior to session to determine the

Ashi Sports Massage Therapy, also known as barefoot massage therapy is a unique and effective therapeutic deep tissue massage technique that combines traditional Japanese Shiatsu principles with modern sports massage therapy. This approach is designed to enhance muscle recovery, improve flexibility, and prevent injuries, making it particularly beneficial for athletes and active individuals.
Ashi Sports Massage Therapy uses the therapist’s feet (the word "Ashi" means "foot" in Japanese) to apply deep, targeted pressure along the body’s muscle groups, fascia, and connective tissues. The practitioner uses their body weight to deliver firm, precise pressure, focusing on key tension, stiffness, or injury areas. This technique helps release deep muscle tension and improves circulation, which accelerates the body’s natural healing process and reduces recovery time from intense workouts.
WHAT TO WEAR: comfortable loose clothing. Shorts or sweat pants.
