Kinessage® - Massage Through Movement continued...
Ten years of practice and continual study has led to the development of Kinessage. My passion for
understanding how the body works has led to using it's extraordinary design for movement to bring about
it's restoration. Kinessage® combines specific use of movement, anatomy application, myofascial release,
and stretching to produce effective results.
Our bodies "wear" the results of how we habitually move (or don't move). Whatever we overuse or
don't use becomes patterned in our bodies. The amount of tension we regularly hold in our necks,
shoulders, backs or legs, for example, is "normal" to our brain and nervous system, even if that amount of
tension is extreme. Depending on the patterns we've established in our bodies, overuse or lack of use
can result in extra waste products (toxins) being thrown off into the tissue. This makes fascia
(connective tissue) more like fly paper, sticking layers together and exerting additional pressure (can be up
to 2,000 lbs. per sq.inch!) against nerves and capillaries. Kinessage® addresses this myofacial component.

Pregnancy/Labor/Postpartum Massage continued...
During pregnancy, the therapy alleviates many of the strains and discomforts associated with the prenatal
period including anxiety, swelling, neck, hip and back pain, nurturing the mother-to-be.
Labor Massage assists in making labor more comfortable and efficient, resulting in a faster and more
relaxed birthing experience for mother and baby.
Postpartum Massage supports the accelerated return of a woman's pre-pregnancy state both physically
and mentally. Return

Lymphatic Drainage Massage continued...
The lymphatic system is a network of fluid filled vessels distributed within the body cavity and just under
the surface of the skin. The lymph's job is to collect toxins, bacteria, metabolic byproducts and other
cellular debris from body tissue and direct it to sites for elimination. Lymph nodes (small round structures)
tonsils, the spleen and thymus all participate in the cleaning and filtering process.
When the immune system is overburdened through disease or exposure to high levels of toxins, the
lymph system's ability to filter and clear may be compromised. The gentle, rhythmic movement of
Lymphatic drainage massage assists the flow of lymph and detoxification allowing for greater healing.
