Techniques

Different techniques and approaches are used as apart of best practices in the CSL Therapy organization. Most have heavy Carribean influences ranging from the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. Other techniques stem from more honored traditional approaches from Thailand such as Swedish massage, lymphatic approaches of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and other easternized medical influences.

Manual Lymphatic drainage is the basis of everything we do but it is just the beginning. Manual lymphatic drainage techniques, and lymphatic massage are limited in their abilities to help clients achieve desired results.

Canvases & Progressive procedures:

The canvas of the average client has declined over the last 20 years as cosmetic treatments and procedures have gotten substantially more aggressive. This has created the “gray area gap”. The gray area gap is the void that was created by treatments that stopped being optimally effective as the starting foundations of the general public changed. The less healthier we have become as a society mixed with heightened trauma from progressively aggressive procedures (not to mention the overuse of tumescent fluid) renders using MLD only approaches under-effective.

CSL Therapy fills this gap taking edema approaches, natural anatomical trauma responses, and modern technological advances to bridge clients helping them safely achieve their desired body goals. Pure true LANA certified lymphatic massages are still employed for PreOp treatments, but after plastic surgery, CSL Therapy induration treatments administered by a PostOp-Indur provider (either an iMedic, Clinician, Specialist, or Therapist).

Here’s a few definitions to help you navigate your cosmetic self love journey: (for more definitions, check out our Lexicon Glossary)

Lymphatic Massage: involves gently manipulating specific areas of the body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels. This is only optimal in either lowered trauma procedures or with clients that are healthy ideal candidates with clean cellular metabolic foundations prior to receiving surgery.
Incisional Drainage: a manual manipulation and palpating approach performed day 1-7 postoperatively that helps the body expel fluids either through a drain, open incisions, or the body’s internal circulatory system. This is never to be confused with lymphatic massage or MLD.
PostOp-Indur: PostOp is short for post operative. “Indur” is short for induration. PostOp-Indur treatments are a series of CSL Therapy manual manipulation styles that range from gentle to firmer techniques of palpation that increase blood flow and promotes recovery by targeting the lymphatic system. As clients heal, different advanced technological tools, equipment, and machines are integrated into sessions to help clients heal faster with less complications and better results.
Body Contouring: In contrast to Body Sculpting, an artistic surgical concept used by plastic surgeons, Body Contouring is the noninvasive modality to molding a client’s tissue to achieve desired results. This modality can help people who have never had surgery achieve results, or clients seeking to enhance the results from their surgical procedures.
