​What is Cupping Therapy?
​​​​​​​It is an ancient form of alternative medicine where a therapist places cups on your body for a few minutes to create a suction on your skin. There are many reasons someone would want cupping therapy in Lenexa. ​​
Cupping therapy may benefit you if you need help with:​
• Pain
• Inflammation
• Blood Flow and circulation
• Myofascial loosening
• Relaxation and general well-being
​
During a Lenexa cupping therapy session, the therapist will place a cup on your back and use a tool to suction out the air between the cup and your body, creating a vacuum effect. Dynamic cupping is where a therapist moves the cup around the back to loosen the fascia. Or, your therapist might practice static cupping on your back, which consists of finding the tense and restricted areas and leaving the cups on those tight areas for a period of time. The cups are usually left on your skin for 10-15 minutes. We offer dry cupping only, if you are looking for wet cupping, try a local acupuncturist in the area.​​​​
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
A manual lymphatic drainage massage in Lenexa from one our team members is a light, repetitive manual detoxifying technique that brings you into a relaxed state. This technique boosts your immune system, detoxes the body, and provides an analgesic effect. MLD focuses on creating open lymphatic pathways to assist with fluid movement, calming of inflammation, and excreting toxins.

-
You are at a high risk for lymphedema

Impacts of Yomassage
One of the best ways to relax your body and calm your mind is by utilizing a Lifestyle Massage Yomassage therapist in Lenexa. Yomassage is a combination of guided meditation, breathwork, supportive restorative stretch and massage. It is designed to promote deep relaxation and reduce stress. ​
Research shows the right kind of touch can lower blood pressure, heart rate, and cortisol levels, stimulate the hippocampus (an area of the brain that is central to memory), and drive the release of a host of hormones and neuropeptides that have been linked to positive and uplifting emotions.
The physical effects of Yomassage therapy in Lenexa are far-reaching. While yoga has been shown to be extremely beneficial for both the physical body and emotions, adding the powerful element of touch has the potential to exponentially increase positive effects for the mind and body.
Swedish massage therapy in Lenexa is a fantastic introductory massage for a lot of reasons. The top reason is it involves firm, yet tender strokes. You often times start laying on your stomach in a flat elevated position on a massage table. Your massage will begin with long, firm strokes on your back and move up over your shoulders eventually, then to your arms, and finally down to your lower back and legs. At about the halfway mark, you will be asked to turn on your back to finish your massage. Once you have turned over, your therapist will focus on your upper shoulders, arms, and fronts of your legs.
Your therapist will use either his or her palm or the heel of his or her hand to give pressure to tough and tight spots. This will lengthen and loosen the muscles. If you are looking to primarily improve blood circulation, a Swedish massage in Lenexa may be for you.
Gentle, Effective, Proven: The Swedish Massage Difference
Compassionate Touch for Healing and Comfort​: Oncology & Medical Massages
An oncology massage in Lenexa is tailored to address the effects of cancer and its treatments on the body. Whether you're newly diagnosed, undergoing treatment, or a survivor, one of our specially trained oncology massage therapist in Lenexa, is here for you. The primary focus is on providing comfort and easing stress, pain, fatigue, and anxiety. This type of massage is designed to be relaxing and restorative, with modifications such as extra bolstering, pillows, and adjustments to accommodate medical devices. We take the time to gather a comprehensive health history and engage in detailed discussions before your first session.
​
For those on a health recovery journey, our medical massage offers a specialized approach from trained therapists. This option is suitable if you're managing multiple medical conditions, recovering from surgeries, or dealing with recent injuries. The goal is to enhance your range of motion, improve your quality of life, manage pain, and reduce inflammation during recovery. Sessions are personalized to your unique needs, incorporating extra bolstering, pillow support, position adjustments, and lighter pressure as necessary. Similar to oncology massage, it's advisable to wait 72 hours up to two weeks post-surgery to respect the body's natural healing process.​
