Lymph Drainage - Endermologie®
The Endermologie® program is part of our approach to supporting and correcting the structure of the lymphatic and immune systems. Designed in France for the treatment of lymphedema and other medical conditions, the Endermologie® machine is used in the United States primarily for cellulite treatment. The reason it has been successful with both lymphedema and cellulite is that both conditions are caused by dysfunctions of the lymphatic system resulting in an accumulation of fluid and toxins in the tissue. This technique helps to mobilize excess fluid and moves it, along with formerly trapped toxins, through the lymphatic system where it can be more effectively dealt with. This process works very well in conjunction with the hands-on IMT treatment.

Massage
Massage has been used for over a thousand years as a simple, effective method of attaining and maintaining good health. Therapeutic massage can be used to promote general well-being by stimulating the circulatory system, improving the supply of oxygen and nutrients to body tissues, and enhancing skin tone. Massage stimulates the lymphatic system which improves the elimination from our body’s lactic acid and other chemical wastes that can lead to pain and stiffness in muscles and joints.

Reflexology
The feet and hands are a mirror of our body. Reflexology uses pressure placed on specific reflex points that correspond to areas of the body in order to stimulate natural self-healing powers and promote well being.

Cranial Sacral Therapy®
Based on techniques developed by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger, Cranial Sacral Therapy® works with the brain and spinal cord to encourage the body’s resistance to disease and eliminate stress. Cranial Sacral Therapy® is another painless, hands-on technique used by the practitioners at Elite to improve and enhance patient health.

The Feldenkrais® method is for anyone who wants to reconnect with their natural ability to move, think and feel. Whether you want to be more comfortable sitting, standing or lying in bed, Feldenkrais® will help you learn to move with less effort, making day-to-day life a little easier. This method focuses on the relationship between movement and thought – an increase in mental awareness and creativity accompanying physical improvement. After treatment clients have expressed feelings of relaxation and ease; reporting clearer breathing and greater clarity of thought. Feldenkrais® is for anyone who wishes to increase their range of motion, flexibility and coordination.
