What is assisted lymphatic therapy?

The lymph system is a vast network of lymph vessels, nodes, capillaries and glands that assist your immune system to work efficiently. Unlike your cardiovascular system, the lymph system does not have a pump such as your heart. The lymph system relies on you moving your body. There are a lot of reasons why this system can get congested or stagnant creating the perfect environment for disease to set in. Assisted lymphatic therapy stimulates and encourages lymph drainage with microcurrent frequencies.

How it works

ALT is a gentle and non-invasive technique that stimulates proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. During an assisted lymphatic drainage session the therapist uses two wands with glass bulbs. Inside the glass bulbs is a mixture of inert gases Argon, Krypton and Xenon. The frequency and light are emitted through the gases in the wands penetrating the lymph system with far more depth and with less effort and time than a manual lymphatic massage. The combination of vibration and light stimulates trapped proteins and by liberating them allows normal filtration and flow. During this relaxing treatment the therapist glides the wands in the line with the body’s natural lymph flow promoting movement and drainage in the lymph pathways and nodes. Each session is equivalent to 8-10 manual lymphatic massages.

Assisted lymphatic therapy helps with a wide range of health concerns such as auto-immune conditions, inflammation in all areas of the body, brain fog, allergies, immune system support, excess water retention, joint pain, skin issues, detoxification and more

These treatments have proven to remove toxins from your body, boost immunity, decrease healing time post surgery and improve overall wellness.

Assisted Lymphatic Therapy is not recommended for people who are pregnant, have a pace maker, have acute infections or have a condition of deep vein thrombosis (blood clots).
