Chi Nei Tsang is a therapeutic abdominal massage that originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

Treatments focus on the navel and visceral area where stress, tension and negative emotions accumulate over time and helps the organs work more efficiently. It helps to manipulate and strengthen the stomach by working on the fascia and viscera, which allows more freedom of movement for internal organs & meridians.

Sessions can assist the body to detoxify and relieves the abdomen of excess stagnation, stress, and knots. Treatments also improve elimination and stimulate the lymphatic and circulatory system, strengthening the immune system.

Ampuku Zukai 

Ampuku, or traditional Japanese abdominal acupressure, is a specialized form of manual therapy that provided the base of what later would become known as Shiatsu. Its origins are also closely related to the earlier Anma practice. In the Japanese healing arts the abdomen, or ‘Hara’, is seen as an important center of energy for the body.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a therapeutic massage technique that targets the lymphatic system to promote the circulation of lymph fluid. The lymphatic system is a vital part of the body’s immune system and is responsible for removing toxins, waste products, and excess fluid from tissues. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a pump (like the heart for blood circulation) to help move the lymph fluid. It depends on manual stimulation to encourage lymph flow and ensure proper drainage.

MLD uses gentle, rhythmic, and precise light movements that mimic the natural flow of lymph. These feather-like strokes are performed with minimal pressure and intention with direction, primarily toward lymph node areas (neck, armpits, groin) to support the body’s detoxification and healing processes.

The techniques used in Manual Lymphatic Drainage are designed to be very gentle and non-invasive. These methods are specifically aimed at encouraging the body’s natural lymph movement without putting stress on the system. 

MLD focuses on stimulating lymph flow to prevent the buildup of lymph fluid in the tissues. Lymph is a clear fluid that carries white blood cells, proteins, and waste products. The lymphatic system drains into the bloodstream and helps maintain fluid balance, remove waste, and protect the body from infection. However, various factors like surgery, injury, or health conditions (such as lymphedema or chronic venous insufficiency) can hinder the flow of lymph, leading to swelling, discomfort, or even infection.

MLD is commonly used for:

1. Lymphedema/Swelling: A condition where lymph fluid accumulates, causing swelling, typically in the arms or legs. MLD is particularly effective for reducing swelling caused by lymphedema, a condition where the lymphatic system becomes compromised, leading to fluid buildup in tissues, especially in the arms or legs. MLD helps improve lymph flow and reduces the swelling and discomfort associated with this condition.
    
2. Post-surgical recovery: Helping to reduce swelling and promote healing after  cosmetic surgeries- BBL, implants, liposuction & liposculpting. After surgery, MLD can be a useful technique for promoting healing. It helps reduce swelling and bruising, supports faster recovery, and can help prevent complications like fibrosis (scar tissue development).
    
3. Detoxification: MLD is often used as a detoxification method, helping the body rid itself of toxins and waste by stimulating lymphatic flow. It can help flush  metabolic waste, vitamins, chlorine, contrast dye & can be complimentary to a detoxifying diet.
    
4. Improved circulation and relaxation:  By encouraging the movement of lymph fluid, MLD can also enhance blood circulation. It helps improve oxygenation of tissues and aids in the removal of metabolic waste products, contributing to overall wellness.  
    

Contraindications: 

Fever, infection, swelling- if any swelling is present and/or you are receiving due to any reason other than relaxation/detox/circulation I will require a physicians note.
