It delivers nutrients to the cells and carries away excess water, cellular waste, bacteria, viruses and toxins. MLD stimulates the lymph system with extremely light, circular pumping movements which are very soothing and relaxing.
By stimulating the lymphatic system, the therapist helps drain puffy swollen tissues, support the immune system, help the body heal from surgery, and aid in natural waste removal or detoxification.

Sports massage is designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. There are three contexts in which sports massage can be useful to an athlete: pre-event, post-event, and injury treatment. Pre-event massage is often fast-paced and stimulating, it helps to establish blood flow and to warm up muscles. During the massage, the athlete generally focuses on visualizing the upcoming event. Post-event massage is often immediately following the event or within a day or two post-event. The intent here is to calm the nervous system and begin the process of flushing toxins and waste products out of the body. This can reduce recovery time, enabling an athlete to resume training much sooner than rest alone would allow. When an athlete sustains an injury, skillful massage therapy can often speed and improve the quality of healing. Regular therapeutic massage during training can improve performance and reduce the probability of injury by regularly flushing toxins, increasing flexibility, and promoting healthy tissue function.

Acutonics is a non-invasive system of vibrational sound healing rooted in Oriental Medicine and philosophy that utilizes tuning forks and symphonic gongs tuned to the planets, Tibetan bowls, bells, drums, and rattles. Precision calibrated tuning forks tuned to the frequencies of the sun, moon, earth, and planets are applied to acupuncture points, trigger points, and points of pain as well as chakra points and layers of the aura. The goal of acutonics is to connect body, mind, and spirit in the journey toward optimal health, and harmonic attunement with all things in the Universe. Every cell in our body is a sound resonator and lives in a dynamic rhythmic pattern. Each organ has its own cycle and its own pulse and every system has a cycle, rhythm, pattern, and pulse that exist in resonant harmony and sympathy to the cycles of the earth and the heavens. These body systems respond to sound vibration, as do our spiritual, mental, and emotional states of consciousness. In the therapeutic environment a cross-disciplinary approach may utilize this harmonic and spiritually based methodology of energy medicine. It has been used effectively to support individuals with a wide variety of ailments including musculoskeletal, neurological, psycho spiritual, emotional, psychological, gastrointestinal, gynecological, respiratory, and many other chronic and debilitating conditions.

Himalayan singing bowls, and wind gongs are the primary instruments in this treatment.

The architecture of vibrations and the patterns created by the practitioner allow the recipient opportunity to rest deeply and experience energetic entrainment, meditation, calm state of mind, and expansive consciousnesses while the instruments are played on and/or around the body. Combined with intention, imagery may appear and insights may spontaneously emerge. Blocked or congested energy may become more free flowing and available for creativity and healing. Greater coherence and contentment are often experienced. Balance and alignment in the physical body, the energy centers (charkas), and/or the etheric fields are positive qualities amplified by the harmonics. As natural ultrasound produced by the instruments the harmonic frequencies produce benefits for muscular aches and pain, joint discomfort, and stimulate bone growth in fractures in addition to reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
