Swedish Massage
Swedish Massage is a manual therapy that emphasizes long strokes, kneading and friction motions to encourage proper circulation. The technique involves rubbing muscles together in the same direction as the flow of blood to the heart. Swedish massage works to improve circulation, relieve muscle tension, stretch tight ligaments and reduce emotional stress.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve pain and muscle tension throughout the body. This type of massage is extremely beneficial because it reaches the deepest layer of muscles, fascia (connective tissue surrounding the joints) and tendons.
Hot Stone
Hot stone massage is a specialty massage where out therapist uses smooth, heated stones as an extension of their own hands, or by placing them on the body. The heat can be both deeply relaxing and help warm up tight muscles so the therapist can work more deeply, more quickly.
Medicupping
Medicupping is a newly added treatment technique that your therapist might include in your plan of care. It utilizes glass cups which are attached to suction. The suction allows your therapist to treat adhesions that might be found in your tissue. These adhesions have the potential to slow down your healing progress. This technique gently breaks up these adhesions, allowing for improved tissue mobility as well as the re-absorption of any swelling that might be present.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Omnis Rehab’s Licensed Massage Therapist Michelle Cox, LMT is now certified to offer Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM).
Who Needs LDM?
Everyone! Especially if you have limited mobility or range of motion. People who live a sedentary lifestyle tend to have a more stagnant lymph system and may see more swelling or water retention. This, in turn, will cause more sickness and inability to heal.
LDM can promote healing by circulating lymph, a colorless fluid containing blood cells, which bathe the tissues and muscles. This fluid is carried through the lymph nodes, destroying the molecular wastes and pathogens. The now recycled lymph is then filtered back into the bloodstream. The lymphatic system does not have a pump, such as the heart in the circulatory system. Lymph is only circulated through muscle movement or by LDM.
Lymphatic Massage for Cancer Patients
Cancer patients who have undergone surgery to remove lymph nodes will usually have swelling and need lymph drainage to redirect the lymph fluid to other healthy lymph nodes. Those patients and others who have had nodes removed can benefit greatly from Lymphatic Draining Massage. LDM can also be incorporated into oncology massage, which is the modification of existing massage therapy techniques in order to safely work with complications of cancer and cancer treatment.
Even allergy sufferers can feel immediate relief after an LDM session. LDM can also:
- Eliminate toxins
- Support immunity
- Reduce swelling
- Promote healing
- Relieve sinus pressure and pain
- Support bowel and bladder function
- Support hormone function
- Promote healthy skin
- Promote energy
- Reduce brain fog
- Induce deep relaxation
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is performed in very slow, intentional circles, in a particular pattern. This massage is done with very light pressure and is deeply relaxing.
