In 1976, an influenza outbreak swept through several nursing homes, hitting the elderly the hardest.

Medical supplies were scarce — no antivirals, no ventilators, not even reliable oxygen. But one facility refused to give up.

With nothing left to use but gravity and determination, caregivers began using a simple yet life-saving method called postural drainage.

By tilting patients on stacked towels or chairs, they helped drain mucus from the lungs — keeping airways clear, one breath at a time.

While other homes lost dozens, this facility recorded zero deaths.

💡 A reminder that medicine isn’t always about machines or technology — sometimes it’s about human creativity, compassion, and the will to keep someone breathing.

I couldn’t resist! Funny but so true.
When a massage therapist recommends coming in for consecutive massages, specifically when a client is in pain, it’s for a good reason! The therapy builds on itself and will definitely speed the healing process.
Not in pain but getting massages for stress relief? Scheduling once a month or even every 6-8 weeks is mind and body maintenance you’ll be grateful for.

What do you know about Lymphatic Massage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle form of massage used to relieve inflammation related to lymphedema. Lymphedema is a common side effect of many health conditions. It’s also common among people recovering from cancer treatments, most notably, breast cancer surgery because surgeons remove several lymph nodes during the procedure.

Typically, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart via a network of vessels and nodes. When something disrupts this process, lymph collects in your arms, legs, ankles or other parts of your body, making them swell.

A massage therapist uses lymphatic drainage techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, which eases the swelling.

Healthcare providers mainly use manual lymphatic drainage to relieve lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. They also use it to treat lymphedema related to health conditions like:

Chronic venous insufficiency.
Fibromyalgia.
Injury.
Lipedema.
Rheumatoid arthritis.

Lymphatic massage is also a popular cosmetic treatment. Facial lymphatic drainage may increase blood circulation and reduce puffiness in your face, giving your skin a glowing boost.

My Lymphatic treatments begin with dry brushing to trigger lymph movement and help improve skin turgor. An initial, additonal cost of $10 is required and the brush will then go home with you for continued care at home. ❤️

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which has been shown to improve the functioning of the central nervous system, as well as many other systems of the body, such as digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. CST has also been shown to help with the physical components related to such somatic conditions as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.

By facilitating the body's natural and innate healing processes, CST is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and has been shown to be beneficial for people seeking help with a wide range of healthcare challenges and symptoms including:

Migraines, Headaches
Chronic Pain
Motor-Coordination Impairments
Central Nervous System Disorders
Orthopedic Problems
Traumatic Brain Injuries and Concussions
Alzheimer's
Spinal Cord Injuries
Scoliosis
Conception, Pregnancy, Birth
Pediatric Challenges
Learning Differences, ADD, ADHD
Autism and Sensory Processing
Chronic Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties, Depression
Stress and Tension-Related Problems
Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ) and Dental Challenges
Immune Disorders
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Surgical Dysfunction
Sleep Challenges
Cancer Support Treatment

Please contact me by texting or calling to schedule a CST treatment. If you aren’t sure if CST is for you, we can mix a mini treatment into any regular massage. ❤️
