Lymphatic Drainage and Post op Care

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle skin stretching technique that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. This is primarily a dry massage. The lymphatic system cleanses proteins, mutated cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20x faster than the body is able to do on it's own. MLD is effective in reducing inflammation caused by injury, bruising and surgery. MLD may accelerate healing post surgery

I have over 2,000 hours of training and continue to study and evolve my approach to helping my clients gain deep relaxation and stress relief, as well as freedom of movement and injury rehabilitation. I like to work according to what each client needs to support optimal functioning and health.
My bodywork is infused with the Body Mechanic Method ® principles. The Body mechanic method ® is a sensorimotor approach to learning that engages the body-mind to help clients become aware of their movement, posture, and structural holding patterns that contribute to tension, pain, and unnecessary limitations. These compensation habits—often learned after injuries, accidents, and trauma—will start to change, reminding your body-mind of the way it was organized before the trauma, bringing you back to earlier, more functional ways of moving and being.
I encourage my clients to be active participants in their healing process which brings harmony to mind and body through my nurturing, therapeutic touch. My experience of body mechanics, strength, flexibility, and holistic outlook allows them better body functioning as well as more spacious living.
Outside of my bodywork practice, In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family. Thoroughly enjoy the outdoors, hiking, biking in nature and enriched by traveling. I like to stay emotionally and physically fit with Yoga and bodyweight training. My bodywork has been influenced by many years of these practices as well as meditation practices, which nourish me deeply, professionally and personally.

I had the lymphatic drainage massages and to be able to leave an honest review I had actually went to another massage therapist and the comparison is huge. Ladies or Gentleman your lymphatic massages are suppose to be somewhat uncomfortable, so the few massages I recieved here were really not helping me nor therapeutic for my healing and recovery. There has to be enough pressure applied to push out fluid, increase circulation, flush out lactic acid and metabolic wastes and to smooth out the swelling. I had a bbl, 360 lipo and your massage therapy can make or break your recovery. I now know that I didn't recieve that going here, which I was very disappointed to say. Cleanliness, professionalism was great, but the most important part for me, the massages was just not a proper lymphatic drainage massage.

Business response:

Hi! thanks for your review, to be clear, Lymphatic Drainage is a light rythmic approach to moving fluid which sits UNDERNEATH the skin - Too much pressure squashes the lymphatics, I have contacted my professor regarding your comment and she is willing to send you information to my approach to MLD. I am also here to answer any questions regarding your concern! Best in health Brian.

I was lucky to have found Brian as my massage therapist. Brian provides excellent customer service, he responds quick to your inquiries and accommodates you when setting up an appointment. There are two main things I liked about Brian, 1) trustworthy, I asked if he thought I needed 2 sessions per week instead of one and he recommended sticking to one. That to me speaks volumes as other therapist would seek their interest (get money) than the clients interest and 2) very knowledgeable, he takes time to explain what he is doing and the benefits of the massage. If you looking for a high quality therapist at an affordable price, I recommend Brian.
