Lypossage

Lypossage is an all-natural body contouring treatment that will help you reshape your figure without invasive surgery. Figure imbalances like cellulite and bulges on the thighs or abdomen respond readily to Lypossage. If you've been frustrated when trying to "spot reduce" areas of your body, you'll be delighted with the results of this unique treatment.

The treatment is a specific blend of massage modalities that derive from physical therapy, including lymphatic drainage and deep tissue release. Charles W. Wiltsie III, a nationally recognized massage therapy educator and pratitioner, created Lypossage. Mr. Wiltsie conducted a year-long study of 100 female subjects that documented the effectiveness of the technique, which was published in Massage and Bodywork magazine in 1999. In the study, notable results included an average inch loss per thigh of almost 1.5 inches.

Lypossage cleanses the body of stagnant, stalled lymphatic fluid that can create the lumps and bumps we know as figure imbalances. The deeper Lypossage strokes break up adhesions under the skin that can contribute to the dimpled, uneven appearance of cellulite. Lypossage also tones the muscles, lifting and firming sagging tissue. Lypossage is performed on the hips, thighs, and lower abdomen (Zone 1), as well as the upper body, including the arms (Zone 2) and the face, and neck (Zone 3).

Lypossage appeals to the person who prefers to have a treatment performed by hand, rather than with a machine. A trained massage therapist must perform Lypossage; there are no such restrictions on the operators of body contouring machines. While there are some contraindications for specific medical conditions, Lypossage can be safely experienced by most healthy individuals. It is much safer than surgical procedures such as liposuction. However, for those who opt for a more dramatic surgical result, Lypossage can be very beneficial before and after the liposuction procedure.
