About Lypossage

The fatty tissue in you body acts as a "toxic waste disposal site" where substances that it cannot metablolize are dumped. This congested tissue can have poor circulation (you'll note that cellulite prone areas are cool to the touch).

Lymphatic flow may also be restricted by tight undergarments and pantyhose. The cellulitic layer is a physiological fatty layer that is supposed to be there. The extent to which it is visible is affected by several variables including, genetic predispostion, dietary habits, exercise habits, and hormones among others.

The Lypossage treatment is a specific blend of massage modalities that derive from physical therapy, including deep lymphatic drainage and deep tissue release. It was created by Charles W. Wiltsie III, LMT, an internationally recognized massage therapy educator and practitioner. Mr. Wiltsie conducted a year long study of 100 female subjects that documented the effectiveneess of the technique. The study was published in Massage and Bodywork Magazine in 1999. In the study, notable results included an average inch lose of 1-1/2 inches per thigh and a cumulative average inch loss of almost 7 inches.

The Spa Group specializes in the training and education of this unique massage modality.
