Breast Health and Maintenance:

As breast cancer continues to rise, it should be a priority to maintain good breast health by regular personal breast palpations to check for lumps or changes in tissue. Women who have already had cancerous episodes are usually dealing with scar tissue both from surgeries and radiation. Beneficial therapies for breast health include the lymphatic drainage, myofascial release and nutritional approaches.

There is a specific protocol using the Lymphstar Pro for lymphatic drainage to address upper extremities and normalizing lymphatic drainage from the mammary glands. A full body session is included with specific attention given to the thoracic duct, axillary lymph node group, parasternal lymph nodes and mammary glands.

Myofascial release (MFR) is used to break up scar tissue, adhesions and connective tissue restrictions throughout the thoracic, pectoralis, neck, and cranial areas. These restrictions often occur from breast surgeries, radiation or chemotherapies. MFR increases blood and oxygen flow to these regions and loosens tissue that may feel glued to the bone.


Pelvic Pain/Pelvic Floor Balancing/Sexual Function:

Pelvic Pain and Pelvic Floor Dysfunction can occur for a number of reasons including endometriosis, adhesions caused by physical trauma from surgeries, falls or sports related injuries, and pelvic muscle imbalances. The use of manual therapies including myofascial release (MFR) and other hands-on techniques is used to break up restrictions in the tight areas of the pelvic floor. The goal is to decrease pain, increase function and facilitate the ability to have intercourse without pain.
