Services
Geriatric Massage
Geriatric massage addresses age-related physical changes through modified techniques that improve circulation, mobility, and pain management. This specialized therapy helps mature adults maintain vitality while addressing conditions like arthritis, neuropathy, and post-surgical recovery. Our practitioners combine gentle pressure with lymphatic drainage to enhance overall well-being for clients aged 65+.
Sports Massage
Sports massage focuses on injury prevention and performance enhancement through targeted techniques like trigger point therapy and myofascial release. We address acute and chronic sports injuries while developing maintenance plans for athletes at all levels. Our approach integrates lymphatic drainage to accelerate recovery between training sessions and competitions.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic drainage therapy uses rhythmic movements to stimulate fluid circulation and immune function. This technique benefits post-surgical patients, cancer survivors, and individuals with chronic inflammation. Our practitioners employ specialized protocols developed by Dr. Bruno Chikly to reduce edema and enhance recovery through manual lymphatic mapping techniques.
Massage for Cancer
Oncology massage provides symptom relief for cancer patients and survivors through adapted techniques that address treatment side effects. We specialize in managing lymphedema, neuropathy, and post-surgical scar tissue while maintaining strict safety protocols. Our therapists coordinate care with medical teams to ensure treatments complement ongoing cancer therapies.
Pain Management
Pain management massage targets chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis through integrated techniques that break pain cycles. We combine trigger point therapy with nervous system regulation methods to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. Our approach focuses on restoring functional movement patterns while addressing both physical and emotional components of chronic pain.
