Injuries can be common amongst the athletic population. And after an injury, there are various factors to consider prior to returning to sport. For women, a therapist with a specialized understanding of women athletes will insure better outcomes in recovery and rehabilitation.

Pain, swelling, range of motion, body mechanics, pelvic pressure, and strength should be assessed in the female athlete. This way, not only is the current issue being treated, but a holistic approach is being used to reduce the risk of future injury.

 Total Body Lymphatic Cupping

Your lymphatic system is part of your immune system and its importance is often overlooked by physicians, obstetricians, and physical therapists. This system is crucial for your health because it rids the body of illness-causing invaders, maintains body fluid levels, absorbs digestive tract fats and removes cellular waste.

Regular lymphatic cupping helps improve your immunity because it helps to increase your lymphatic output. Cupping stretches open, rather than closing the lymphatic vessels.

Ideal for people experiencing:

• chronic fatigue

• chronic swelling

• hormone related migraines

• post-operative swelling

• post liposuction

• swelling following abdominoplasty (tummy-tuck) or mommy makeovers
