Our Services
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Choosing your after care specialist is just as important as choosing your surgeon. Your skilled surgeon is the sculptor and we are the kiln. You need someone with advanced education and this is not the time to skimp, as you only have one body. You can rest assured that our post surgical education and experience will leave you with excellent measurable results. Check the blog below to read about the importance of MLD and your recovery. One session or even four will not do it, and you will be left with less than desirable results. Top surgeons know the importance and recommend 10-30 sessions. When you are price checking make sure your therapist has post surgical certifications.
Enjoy Full Body Vibration With Lifepro Plate
In some cases you may need an extra boost to drain your lymph and if your not contraindicated then you are welcome to use our top of the line vibration plate to help boost your flush. This is determined by the specialist as you heal. IF you buy a package it is included in the package price. However, if you want to add it, it's only $2 a minute. Free ten minute session with ten or more packs of MLD treatments! That is a savings for $200 or more.
Pain Managed Through Acoustic Sound Wave Technology
Radial Shockwave Therapy — Pain & Injury Recovery
Non-Surgical Relief for Plantar Fasciitis, Tendonitis, Frozen Shoulder & Post-Surgical Scar Tissue
Chronic pain doesn't have to mean surgery, injections, or months on the sidelines. Our BS-SWT 5000 radial shockwave system uses targeted acoustic pressure waves to jump-start your body's own healing response — increasing blood flow, breaking down scar tissue and calcifications, and stimulating collagen repair at the site of injury.
Conditions We Treat
Plantar fasciitis2–6 sessions, 1–2x/ week
Achilles tendonitis (Achillodynia)4–6 sessions, 1–2x/week
Tennis/golfer's elbow (epicondylitis)5–10 sessions, 2x/week
Patellar tendonitis (jumper's knee)4–8 sessions, 1–2x/week
Rotator cuff / shoulder tendinitis4–10 sessions, 2x/week
Calcific shoulder tendinitis / frozen shoulder4–8 sessions, 2x/week
Trochanteric bursitis / hip pain4–10 sessions, 1–2x/week
Heel spurs 4–6 sessions, 1–2x/week
Shin splints / tibial stress syndrome4–10 sessions, 1–2x/week
Post-surgical / post-injury scar tissue and adhesions4–12 sessions, 1–2x/week
Myofascial trigger points (neck, back)
4–12 sessions, 1–2x/week
Session counts above reflect the manufacturer's own clinical protocols; your provider will tailor the plan to your specific case and how you respond to early sessions.
What to Expect
- Session length: 15–30 minutes, including setup and pinpointing the treatment site
- No anesthesia, no downtime: You can resume normal activity immediately after each visit
- Sensation: A tapping/pulsing feeling during treatment; mild soreness or redness for a day or two afterward is common
- What happens biologically: The acoustic waves are delivered through a handheld applicator pressed against the skin. At the tissue level, this stimulates blood vessel formation, increases collagen production, and can help disrupt calcified deposits and chronic scar adhesions that haven't responded to rest, stretching, or other conservative treatment.
Why Consider Shockwave Before Surgery
- Non-invasive — no incisions, no anesthesia, no surgical recovery time
- Drug-free — avoids the risks of repeated cortisone injections or long-term pain medication
- Evidence-based — one of the more extensively studied non-surgical options for chronic tendinopathy and plantar fasciitis
- Minimal time commitment — most patients are in and out in under 30 minutes and back to normal activity the same day

Treatments We Offer
Treatment Typical Course Cellulite reduction (Stages I–III) 4–12 sessions, 1–2x/week
Body contouring / shaping (arms, belly, thighs)4–10 sessions, 1–2x/week

Lymphatic drainage / congestion4–12 sessions, 1–2x/week
Muscle & connective tissue tightening 6–12 sessions, 1–2x/week
Session counts reflect the manufacturer's suggested protocols; your provider will adjust the plan based on treatment area, goals, and how your skin responds.
What to Expect
- Session length: Typically 15–30 minutes per treatment area
- No downtime: Return to normal activities immediately — no bruising, incisions, or recovery period
- Sensation: A rhythmic tapping/vibration feeling as the applicator moves across the treatment area; skin may look slightly pink or warm afterward, which fades within a few hours
- How it works: Acoustic pressure waves increase local blood flow and lymphatic circulation, mechanically stimulate the connective tissue layer, and encourage collagen remodeling — the combination that's associated with firmer, smoother-looking skin over a course of treatments.
Why Clients Choose Acoustic Wave Treatments
- Non-invasive — no needles, incisions, or anesthesia
- No recovery time — walk in on a lunch break, walk out and go about your day
- Whole-body versatility — the same system treats arms, abdomen, thighs, and back with different applicator heads
- Complements other treatments — often paired with massage, compression garments, or a broader skin-care routine for enhanced results
