SERVICES

Here at Avenues, we look to support you by nourishing your body, mind and soul in a safe space by integrating various modalities and using different approaches to your changing needs.

Medical Massage, Lymphatic Drainage and Western Bodywork

At Avenues, we understand that each system of the body will influence all others: from musculoskeletal to the lymphatic system, from somatic movement to nutrition/ digestive system, from emotional body to chronic pain.  Our skilled, manual therapists could identify the various systems involved and the ensuing treatments that would be indicated and would benefit the body as a whole.

  • Our Manual Lymphatic Drainage practice specializes in post-operative recovery (faster post-cosmetic procedure recovery, prevention or maintenance of Lymphedema) as well as Health and Wellness MLD sessions (such as supporting hypothyroid patients, patients struggling with various conditions: from post-orthopedic recovery, to hormonal fluctuations to simply alleviating symptoms of seasonal allergies, and much more).

  • Services offered will address some of the following needs:

    • Orthopedic injuries/surgeries/gait assessment

    • Pre-surgical and general wellness (to support the body as it prepares for surgery or is recovering from minor illnesses and seasonal changes)

    • Post-surgical acute swelling (to support and enhance the recovery from cosmetic, autoimmune conditions, etc.)

    • Lymphedema prevention and treatment (for prior or current oncology patients)

  • We will utilize techniques such as:

    • Manual Lymphatic Drainage

    • Medical Massage (Western bodywork)

    • Myofascial Release

    • Neuromuscular Facilitation Techniques

    • Trigger Point Therapy

Eastern Bodywork and Energy Therapy

We believe that the wisdom present in the Western and Eastern principles of bodywork can be integrated for a more rounded approach to wellness.  Both are supportive and will enhance our health and well-being. 

  • In Western bodywork, the body is the Castle, our home that holds our mind and spirit, and by treating the body we allow a nurturing and supportive ground to calm the nervous system and alleviate stress in our daily life.

    At the center of the Eastern philosophy/thought is that energy pervades the body and stresses on the body-mind-soul will result in energy imbalances and deficiencies in our system.

  • When energy isn’t flowing smoothly and either accumulates in certain areas or escapes the body excessively, illness or dis-ease ensues. Stress, and particularly our unique way in which we interpret stressful events and the attitudes we form as a result will indicate the overall health of our energetic system.

    Services offered will focus on integrating the body, mind and soul and facilitate the movement of stagnant energy throughout the body.

  • We will utilize modalities such as:

    • Biofield Tuning (Chakra Balancing, Sound Healing)

    • Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)

    • Feldenkrais

    • Gong Sound Resonance

    • Non-violent Communication

    • Reiki

    • Shiatsu

    • Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness Practices
