Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is the use of specific tools to address fascial restrictions, soft tissue fibrosis, and chronic inflammation, to reduce pain and increase range of motion. 

​

Briana is a Certified Lymphatic Drainage 1 Therapist through The Chickly Institute.

Lymphatic Drainage (LD) is a gentle, noninvasive modality designed to assist lymph flow. Lymph vessels are found throughout the body, but 70% of the vessels are located just below the skin. By using light, rhythmic, and targeted massage techniques, practitioners assist the body in clearing sluggish tissue of waste and swelling.  

​

Because of the function of the lymphatic system, LD can benefit just about everyone. If you're feeling tired and low on energy, or if you've been sick or under the weather and feeling like your body is fighting to get back on track, LD is for you. If you have chronic or acute swelling, LD is for you. If you have an immune deficiency or autoimmune disease, LD is for you. In addition, athletes, surgical patients, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue sufferers, as well as acne and other skin issue sufferers, LD is for you.

This session starts with Guided Relaxation followed by Integrative Massage. This is the ultimate mind and body treatment. 

This treatment will help clear up congestion, ease headache, decrease inflammation, and help you breath easier. 

We use an integrative approach to this treatment dependent upon your specific issues. You will typically be supine (face up) with an incline if needed. Hot stones, essential oils, steam towels, acupressure, lymphatic drainage, neuromuscular therapy, and tapotament may be used. Not only will you breath easier after this treatment, but you will feel immensely relaxed.  

Cupping is the use of negative pressure to increase blood flow and focus on fascial movement. Briana uses silicone cups and moves them in similar fashion to massage as well as leaves them on specific points. This is a great alternative to traditional deep (inward) pressure.
