We need to Decompress our Stress.

Lymphoedema

Many women after cancer breast surgery experience swelling, inflammation and pain, in one or both arms due to the removal of the lymph nodes. This puts a lot of pressure on the other axillary nodes in other parts of the body to filter lymph and relieve the fluid build-up.

Results can be arm swelling and a feeling of "fullness", pressure and discomfort due to the pooling of fluid in the arm/s. This can be painful and debilitating, as well as feel unsightly and can contribute to a loss of confidence in oneself.

There are various ways to help combat lymphoedema, from losing weight, being nutritionally very conscious, exercising, dry brushing, using a vibration plate, and following a stretching program.

Pressure garments and massage may help as well, while Whole Body Somatic Therapy  the entire somatic system, readjusting and relieving  the symptoms of lymph stagnation and fluid build-up.

Whole Body Somatic Therapy promotes lymph drainage, venous flow and respiratory deepening and regulation.

The controlled compression pneumatic massage of our system is used to effectively treat oedema, peripheral circulatory conditions, establishing balanced breathwork and decompression from typical stressful life.

The new inner reconnections help stimulate a person's self-resourcing going forward, as inner mechanisms are set in motion and remembered. Surgery is trauma. Whole Body Somatic Therapy allows us, in an environment of safety and seclusion to reconnect with our internal systems and be whole again.

Somatic Compression Therapy. What Is It?

Similar Somatic Compression Therapy is a method of lymphatic drainage widely used in the field of medicine and aesthetics in Europe. Its application produces an activation of the circulatory, venous and lymphatic system, improving the return circulation and reducing the accumulation of water and other toxins and substances that are retained in the body.

Our program helps stimulate the circulatory system, venous and lymphatic return, to assist prevent varicose veins, lymphoedema and venous oedemas, oedemas post-operative and  post-traumatic oedema, additionally it is a whole-body treatment program for destressing from modern life.


Treatment

A patient is fitted into an inflatable suit, with the limb to be treated fitted into boots or sleeves comprising compartmentalized double-walled pneumatic chambers. Treatment is adjusted to the actual blood pressure. A compressor injects air into the body-suit chambers incrementally with an adjustable force under controlled pressure.

The effect is hyperbaric in relation to stimulation and pressure felt on body parts under controlled compression in a minimal 45-minute session. Lymphatic and venous engagement occurs during this time in which lymphatic and circulatory systems activate, and begin relieving internal pressure, flushing toxins, and accumulated fluids. Plus breathwork is incorporated into the treatment program so that the respiratory system achieves a balanced work-out and mind and body comes into renewed connection and rebalance.

The result is a feeling of incredible lightness and well-being - with relief from the tired body, legs, and inner being.
