Osteopathic & Integrative Body Work
This therapy is a manual integrative therapy that manipulates the soft tissues and decreases muscle tension, pain, stress and depression. The simple act of placing the hands on the body can change a person's wellbeing and energy. Many studies have illustrated that without physical touch; babies cannot thrive the miles stones they need to grow. Touch also has a positive effect on caregivers. For example, mothers who regularly have a great deal of physical closeness with their babies experience postpartum depression to a far lesser degree, and elderly caregivers feel a decrease in stress, anxiety and depression when touch involved.

LYMPHATIC BALANCING (LB)
Lymphatic Balancing (LB) is a specifically designed curriculum that applies specialized manual lymphatic drainage techniques, originally designed to treat lymphedema, to the orthopedic patient. LB can be used to treat excess fluid (swelling), fluid stagnation or lymphedema in the cranium, spine, thorax, abdomen, viscera, pelvis, upper (shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand) and lower extremities (hip, knee, ankle, and foot).
LB is an effective manual therapy treatment to relieve congestion and remove accumulated waste and edema in the tissues to decrease pain, restore full pain-free movement, and allow for optimal tissue healing. The LB procedure involves both short and long lever manual pumping and drainage techniques to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements that stimulate fluid motion and aid in the re-circulation of the venous and lymphatic flow. These subtle manual techniques not only activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation, but also stimulate the immune system and help balance the autonomic nervous system. LB is appropriate for the following patient populations: pediatrics, adolescents, young adults, adults, and geriatrics. LB is very effective for the following conditions:
