Best Lymphatic Massages Austin Near Me

4worldlovers: A healing and therapeutic massage that brings heart and kind spirit to every session.

Each session starts with a conversation about the client’s medical history and current well-being in order to personalize the treatment. The light touch utilized in Manual Lymph Drainage is designed to move the skin in specific directions in order to stretch and stimulate the opening of the initial lymphatics just below the surface of the skin.

Reduces swelling and speeds healing by moving fluid from injured or damaged lymphatic areas to healthy/intact ones. (lymphedema, post-surgery, injuries, chronic venous insufficiency)

Removes waste products, toxins, bacteria, protein molecules and foreign substances from the tissues. Boosts the immune system by speeding up the transport of bacteria and allergens to the lymph nodes, our body’s defense system

Reduces pain in 3 ways: by moving pain mediators out of the tissues, removing excess fluid that can press on pain receptors, and by the Gate Theory of Pain, where touch receptors are stimulated by the rhythmic Manual Lymphatic Drainage strokes which overtake the signals sent by pain receptors.

Has a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system, inducing a deep relaxed state.

4worldlovers: Our goal in these sessions is to equip you with all the tools and education necessary for long-term independent management and prevention of lymphedema.

By ensuring the optimal function of your lymphatic system, we can enhance your immune system's capacity to combat infections, regulate inflammatory responses, & uphold optimal health.

The Lymphatic System is perhaps the most underrated aspect of our anatomy, acting as the transportation mechanism for the body's healing and immunological processes. It is basically our body's filtration system, responsible for cleaning our tissues of harmful pathogens and waste products.

Poorly functioning lymphatic systems are associated with chronic illness, swelling and inflammation. At Austin Lymphatic, we have dedicated our entire practice to supporting our clients Lymphatic Health.

4worldlovers: Massage is a wonderful way to relax, increase your energy and relieve discomfort during your pregnancy.

Taking time for yourself to relax will ease your nervous-system, allowing you to move through your days with more vitality and happiness.

The lymphatic system is a part of weight control, the immune system, the cleansing of blood, and the detoxification of our bodies. The problem is that, unlike blood, lymph does not have a pump. It relies on the relaxation and the contraction of the muscles and joints to move it.

Your lymphatic system can easily become stagnant, especially when it becomes overwhelmed with toxic debris, which is very common in the modern world. This not only leads impaired immunity and disease, but the development of cellulite, fluid retention, chronic pain and fatty deposits. A sluggish lymphatic flow can also be a root cause of chronic sinusitis; swollen glands, ankles and eyes; eczema; arthritis; upper respiratory, sinus and ear infections; throat problems; colds and an overall lack of energy and vitality.

4worldlovers:
I have been a practicing massage therapist since 2002. An on-going student of Lymphatic Drainage and Craniosacral Therapy, I work with the body in its solid, fluid, and energetic states. I bring the experience of working in clinical settings and years of training in myofascial massage to my private practice. I welcome clients with specific therapeutic needs, including self-care, and anyone with curiosity about the body.

Manual therapies can enhance all aspects of our inherent wellness, as well as address such concerns as swelling and inflammation, acute and chronic pain, headaches, digestive issues, insomnia and anxiety, and recovery from traumas and surgeries. Hands-on therapy can also provide self-nurturing and improve posture, body awareness, and mood. Bodies of all ages can benefit from skilled touch.

I work in awe of the potential our bodies have for self-healing. Whether you are a new or experienced receiver of bodywork, I am interested in what I can offer.

"Sarah has a unique combination of technical expertise, passionate curiosity about human physiology and empathy. Aside from the benefits of the massage, I always feel that I'm cradled in loving support when Sarah works on me. She's been instrumental in my healing from several surgeries and life events."

"I have seen Sarah a couple of times for Craniosacral therapy and have loved both my sessions. I came in because I was having a lot of anxiety, mental fog and short-term memory challenges. I’ve tried several different things to help improve these areas, but nothing has helped. After my first session I noticed a big improvement and was very excited to schedule more time with Sarah.. she is so incredibly warm, kind and highly knowledgeable in her craft."
