Post Viral Tips to boost energy and clear stagnant fluids.
Lymphatic drainage, Visceral Manipulation, Tradional Chinese Cupping.
This season, we've seen a number of viral infections that tend to linger in the lymph and the fascia, affecting energy production and inflammation clearance at visceral, cellular, and lymphatic levels. Manual Lymphatic drainage addresses this directly as does certain Visceral Manipulation techniques and even sliding cupping technique.
We want to share some of our other go-to treatments for addressing lingering post-viral pathogens. These include herbal medicine such as Xiao Chai Hu Tang, supplements like slow-release Vitamin C, quercetin, and NAC, as well as treatments such as Visceral Manipulation, acupuncture, and Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).
Michelle Sacchetti can do a Manual Lymphatic Drainage on a Friday and Saturday.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a deeply relaxing therapeutic technique used to stimulate the lymphatic system assisting detoxification, fluid metabolism and re-energise the bodies immune response. Lymphatic drainage is unlike other deeper forms of massage in that is employs feather-light stokes to encourage Lymphatic fluid (containing toxins and other cellular waste) from connective tissues into lymph nodes for filtration. In lymph nodes Lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) actively boost immunity and ensure decongestion of the fluid.
Sliding Cupping
Cups such as the ones pictured are slid over the larger muscles of the back and shoulders slowly moving fluid beneath in the fascial level. It is deeply relaxing and soothing.
Ivy Chew, Katie Molloy and Jen Price can do this most days of the week.
Visceral Manipulation.
VM addresses restrictions in all tissues, often enhancing the body's ability to shift fluid and decrease inflammation. It is light touch and through clothing. Josh Neeft is our Visceral Manipulation specialist Physiotherapist and is available Monday and Thursday mornings.
Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.
Acupuncture releases prostaglandins, enkephalins and other innate transmitters at the skin level and herbal medicine addresses inflammation pathways via your digestive tract.
Ivy Chew, Katie Molloy and Jen Price are available most days.
