Lymphatic Therapy

Lymphatic Therapy is a gentle, light touch, non-invasive technique to stimulate the proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. A combination of vibrational, light, and electrical waves help to stimulate the flow by causing the dissociation of proteins that have become trapped in the interstitium. When trapped proteins (not to be confused with nutrient proteins) release their bond, the stagnate lymph is liberated and will flow out into its normal filtration and reabsorption channels. Vive! has several therapists who are specially certified in Lymphatic Therapy.

Since lymphatic organs play an important role in the immune system, the proper flow of the lymphatic fluid can positively impact many conditions faced by our clients. Some of these conditions include:

• General Inflammation
• Lymphedema
• Edema and Water Retention
• Cancer
• Heart Disease
• Post Cosmetic Surgery - healing time

• Cosmetic enhancement by fluid deposit reductions
• Lyme Disease
• Pre and Post Athletic Application - decrease muscle/tendon strain and healing time
• Enlarged Prostate
• General detox and cleansing

Online Booking is not available for Lymphatic Therapy.
A phone consultation is required before your first Lymphatic treatment.

Specialized Therapies

Some of our therapists offer highly specialized massage modalities. These all require advanced certifications by the therapist. Some specialized therapies include:

• Thai Massage
• Shiatsu Massage
• Pregnancy Massage
• Lymphatic Therapy

Pregnancy Massage

While any licensed massage therapy can perform pregnancy massage, we at Vive! require our therapists to have advanced training in pregnancy massage. This is to insure that we are providing you with the safety and service that pregnancy requires.

Out of an abundance of caution for Mom and Baby, we do not perform pregnancy massage during the first trimester or last 3 weeks of pregnancy.

Infrared Sauna

Infrared Sauna is an excellent detox tool. The gentle warming caused by your body tissue absorbing the infrared light slightly raises your core temperature, improving blood flow. Infrared is very safe. It is the same technique used to incubate premature babies.
