Sprout Massage Therapy

🦠 Kids are back in school🦠 and that means illness is coming into the house 🤧 🤒 😷

Did you know that your lymphatic system is your first line of defence against illness, bacteria & disease?

Your lymph nodes are the very first filtering station that nasty bacteria hits when it enters your body.

A healthy/well functioning lymphatic system can go a long way in making sure that you don’t get sick over the winter! Or if you do, it is short-lived compared to taking you out for days or more.

If you have been doing your BIG 6 openers all summer, chances are you might fare well this winter.

If you haven’t been, then 💩, you might get sick🤷🏻‍♀️, but it’s never too late to start!

🚨 NOTE: if you are currently sick and/or have swollen lymph nodes, please DO NOT do your BIG 6 opening. The lymph nodes are currently doing their job by filtering out all that nasty bacteria, which is why they’re swollen in the first place.

However, if you are not sick right now, it is the perfect time to start so hopefully you can get through the cold and flu season unscathed

And don’t forget your children can be doing this too! Although HEALTHY CHILDREN DO NOT NEED TO OPEN LYMPH NODES, if your child does not have the best diet and spends most of their time in front of screens, they may want to start opening their lymph nodes too.

Make it a family affair to be healthy this fall/winter season. ❤️

How long does it take clear inflammation from the face/body??

The answer is solely dependent on you, your lifestyle, and how much effort you’re willing to put in

-are you opening your lymph nodes every day?
-are you drinking enough water?
-are you getting enough sleep?
-what is your nervous system like? are you constantly in fight or flight?
-are you moving your body to help push the fluid through?

Not to mention environmental factors, like seasonal allergies, medication’s, food intolerances…

If you have been suffering with inflammation, puffiness or dark circles for a long time, it is not going to disappear overnight, simply by opening up your lymph nodes and doing one face routine.

It could take months of consistent opening and flushing to see lasting results, which may also include changing some other things in your lifestyle (diet/exercise)

As a lymph drainage practitioner, I am only here to help assist your journey, not fix the problem. It will be the things you do every day at home that will make the biggest difference.❤️

Still going. 🫶🏼

Not everyday because my body said NO.

And when my body speaks, I LISTEN.

Do your best. That’s all you can ask of yourself.

Listening to your body is half the battle. Pushing it too hard, in ways you “think” are beneficial is not going to help you in the long run.

Be KIND to yourself and your body (and others)

Manual VS Brazilian lymphatic drainage

Is one right and the other wrong?
Which is better?

UNPOPULAR OPINION
I think BOTH have a place in a successful treatment plan!!

Which is why I have now COMBINED the 2 therapies PLUS massage into ONE AWESOME TREATMENT!

Why book 3 separate treatments, when you could have it all together!
💫relax the nervous system
💫open lymph nodes to prime the system
💫release fascial adhesions to increase lymphatic flow
💫work trigger points and pain areas in a way that doesn’t hurt or engage your fight/flight response, yet still gets the job done!

My SIGNATURE METHOD makes it possible to achieve all of this in ONE session instead of 3.

Each session is completely unique to your needs for that day.

Let go of what YOU THINK a treatment should look and feel like, and FOCUS ON RESULT!

What can I say? I’m multidimensional.🙏🏻🙃

I was raised in the 80s on gangster, rap, and country music

I trained for massage therapy in my 20s

I found my spiritual side in my 30s

And in my 40s, after 20+ years of massaging, I continue to evolve, and I think it’s time for my massage techniques to evolve too 🤔

Lymphatic drainage for the face!

Start with the a little oil. Not too much. You want to be able to grab the skin, not just slide off it.

- open the collar bone area
- open in front and behind the ears
- open at the base of the nose
- open the bridge of the nose
- open the elevens

Flush towards the ears and down towards the collar bones!!

😁

A personal challenge to do this flow everyday for 30 days and assess how I feel.

It’s not about weight loss.

For me, it’s about being in less pain and holding onto less bloat

The method:
*BIG 6 opener
*10 moves (dealers choice)
*1 min each

For a total of 12.5 mins!

That’s MY KIND OF WORKOUT!🏋️‍♀️ lol

I am sorry. I tried to play the game of social media AND give valuable information at the same time. BIG MISTAKE.

From now on I will give the info first and let the algorithm go F& itself 😁

Happy Saturday.
GO OPEN YOUR LYMPH NODES!

You’ve seen it. It’s trending. And with good reason.

But something is missing!!!

I have seen MANY variations of the moves but the structure is the same..
10 moves…1 min each.

When done with INTENTION this routine offers stretch, strength, stability, fascial flow, and range of motion.

But for it have MAXIMUM EFFECT & be considered a LYMPHATIC FLOW it is missing ☝️thing…

The BIG 6 lymph node openers!!!

2.5 mins can take this routine from 0-100 and you are STILL DONE in less then 15mins🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you been seeing this on Your for you page?

Have you given it a try?

Did you open your nodes first?

Let me know in the comments 👇🏼

💧 DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF WATER.

Sometimes the thing your body is asking for isn’t another supplement, another detox, another expensive wellness product...

It might just be a glass of water. 😳

Be honest…tell me in the comments how much water you drink in a day??!!

Water makes up roughly 50–65% of the adult human body and every cell, tissue and organ depends on it to function properly.

And when you’re not getting enough, your body can let you know.

💧 Headaches
💧 Dry mouth & skin
💧 Darker urine
💧 Constipation
💧 Feeling tired or foggy
💧 decreased physical performance
💧 Feeling thirsty

But here’s what I REALLY want you to remember...

Water isn’t just about preventing dehydration.
It’s involved in transporting nutrients, removing waste, regulating body temperature, supporting digestion, lubricating and cushioning your joints, and maintaining the fluid balance around your cells and tissues.

This includes your lymphatic system!

Your lymph is largely made up of fluid, and that fluid is constantly moving through your tissues and lymphatic vessels.

So if you’re working on supporting your lymphatic system, hydration is one of the simplest places to start.

No fancy equipment.

No expensive treatment.

Just... water. 💦

Now, I’m NOT saying water is going to magically “fix” every problem you have.
But if you’re consistently under-hydrated, getting enough fluids can make a surprisingly noticeable difference in how you feel (including joint pain/arthritis and even weight loss)

So before you reach for the next “quick fix”...

Go drink some water. 🙄 😂

Your body might just be asking for the basics.❤️
