Manual Lymphatic drainage
Our therapists, also known as Certified Lymphedema Therapists, have undergone 150+ hours of extra training to be certified in Complete Decongestive Therapy. This is the treatment of swelling, pain, inflammation, and bruising whether it's from a chronic condition or from a surgery. Some massage therapists claim to know how to complete manual lymphatic drainage, but have not been certified in this very effective technique.
Taping is another way to address the lymphatic system to clear swelling and bruising as seen on the left.
What makes Back to Life unique is that we strive to help people be independent by teaching them these techniques to apply between sessions to maximize the effects. As health professionals we can provide wound assessment and dressing changes if your doctor orders. Having an extra set of eyes on incisions between doctor visits helps with peace of mind and preventing complications. We work closely with your surgeon or primary doctor.
Deep tissue Massage
IASTM/Gua Sha
Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization known as IASTM or Gua Sha uses different tools/instruments and pressure as an extension of the therapists hands to feel for any restrictions in the tissue and get rid of deep knots affecting motion and causing pain.
medical and sports massage
Medical Massage
This type of massage uses various techniques to address conditions diagnosed by a doctor. It will focus on the areas causing the most issues. Examples would include back or neck injury, tendonitis, or sprain/strains.
Sports Massage
Not only for athletes, but addresses specific pains and joint motion restrictions through a combination of massage techniques and targeted stretches. The therapist will guide you through the motions and teach you stretches to complete at home to maintain results.

Q: Will insurance cover treatments?
A: It depends- In certain cases where treatment is medically necessary, clients can submit their bills to their insurance carrier for possible reimbursement if they have out-of-network occupational therapy benefits. We are also a Medicare approved provider therefore we will bill Medicare insurance plans directly for massage services if certain conditions are met. We will guide you through the process if you want to go this route.
