Specialized therapy using The Spurgeon Method to aid recovery after mastectomy surgery. This treatment reduces swelling, improves range of motion, and addresses emotional trauma. Combines lymphatic drainage with gentle bodywork to promote physical and mental healing for breast cancer survivors.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Helps prevent fibrosis and promotes faster recovery through specialized stroking movements that redirect fluid to functional lymph vessels.

Therapists use modified techniques based on detailed medical histories to ensure safe, comfortable sessions that complement ongoing medical treatments.

Combines deep tissue work with myofascial release to address musculoskeletal issues and improve functional mobility for patients with documented health needs.
