disposal system. Part of the circulatory system, the lymphatic system moves
fluid through the body clearing away bacteria, microorganisms, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>cellular waste and foreign substances, excess
water, proteins and wastes from the connective tissue and returns it to the
blood stream where the kidneys ultimately remove the waste from the body. </span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Rockwell","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The flow of lymph fluid can become stagnated for a variety of
reasons including: swelling, chronic inflammation, lack of physical activity,
stress, fatigue, emotional or physical trauma, age, or poorly fitted
undergarments. When lymphatic circulation slows down, the regeneration of cells
becomes less effective. This condition allows toxins and proteins to accumulate
around the cells causing cellular oxygenation to decrease, and tissue
regeneration to diminish.</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Rockwell","serif"; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move
the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving
pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a
preventative and remedial technique, Lymphatic Drainage can be used for a wide
range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling
and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">If you have ever had the pleasure of receiving a hot stone massage you are familiar with the intense feeling of relaxation that it elicits. But are you aware that there are long term, lasting benefits of hot stone massage?</span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><strong>Some of the medicinal benefits of hot stone massage include:</strong></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Relief from pain associated with arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and other chronic conditions</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Increases range of motion and flexibility in joints </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Diminishes chronic tension and stress and promotes calmness and relaxation</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Reduces muscle spasms, tension created by strained or contracted muscles, and soothes pain</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Lymphatic drainage and cleansing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Decongestion of the liver by relaxing ducts</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Relaxes colon for better elimination</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Detoxifies the blood</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Helps with hydrating and flushing cells</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"> Improves circulation and help rid the body of toxins</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">A hot stone massage combines thermotherapy (heat therapy) with a variety massage techniques to provide an effective healing treatment. The use of natural basalt stones in conjunction with massage uses powerful earth energies to help the patient heal. Sometimes cold stones, typically marble, are used in conjunction with hot stones. The hot and cold combination further increases circulation and speeds the injury recovery process.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">For those who have not yet indulged in the experience of a hot stone massage; it consists of both warm and hot stones that are heated between120 to 140 degrees F prior to being applied to the body. The placement of heated stones on a particular area of the body increases the circulation of fluids, can assist in alleviating organ congestion, and may even dissolve adhesions. Sounds good?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="color: #a64d79;"><strong>It gets better:</strong></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">While the placement stones melt away tension and stress, the therapist will coat additional hot stones with oil and use them as massage implements. Using a variety of massage strokes and pressures, the therapist will work the stones into the muscles and soft tissues of the body. The firmness of the stone couples nicely with the heat to enhance the therapeutic benefits of the massage. The heat and energy from the stones penetrate deep into the muscles to achieve a soothing and therapeutic experience. When used with specific techniques, the penetrating effects of the heated stones allow the therapist to deliver massage and release tight muscle restrictions more efficiently without the use of excessive pressure which results in less discomfort for the client.</span></div>

In an age of technical and, at times, impersonal medicine, massage offers a
drug-free, non-invasive and holistic approach based on the body's natural
ability to heal itself. So what exactly are the <a href="http://www.amtamassage.org/infocenter/healthcare_articles-and-associations/The-Power-of-Touch-for-Pain-Relief--Basic-Facts.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: black;">benefits to receiving regular massage and/or bodywork</span></a> treatments? <br />
<br />

into tissues and vital organs. <br />

toxic invaders. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
