Plantar Fasciitis

• Do you feel sluggish most of the time?
• Do you have frequent, dull headaches?

All of the above can be contributors to a challenged immune system. You can jump start your immune system with Manual Lymphatic Drainage, also known as MLD. MLD is a massage modality specifically designed to encourage proper lymph flow. It is also a common treatment prescribed by physicians and surgeons before and after a surgery to reduce swelling and help you heal faster. Nutritionists even prescribe MLD for clients going through a detox to flush out toxins!
