What is ALT?

 Assisted Lymphatic Therapy is a gentle, light touch non-invasive technique to stimulate the proper flow and drainage of the lymphatic system. Assisted Lymphatic Therapy uses an FDA approved handheld device designated to simulate the lymph at a greater depth with less effort in far less time, 8-10x that of a lymphatic massage. The wands use a combination of vibrational, light, and electrical waves help to stimulate the flow by causing the dissociation of proteins that have become trapped in the interstitium. When trapped proteins (not to be confused with nutrient proteins) release their bond, the stagnate lymph is liberated and will flow out into its normal filtration and reabsorption channels. An impaired lymphatic system often results in: Fatigue, Colds, Flu and Sinus Problems, Edema & Excess Water Retention, Fatigue, Heart Disease, Fibrocystic & Tender Breasts, Cellulite, Enlarged Prostate, and Cancer. ALT is quite different than manual lymph drainage, which can also be effective.  However, ALT is a full body therapy that can stimulate the lymph at a greater depth and will enhance lymph flow in far less time. This relaxing and pain-free therapy makes it an excellent choice for individuals looking to improve their health without compromising on comfort. 

The FDA Approved XP2 machine uses state-of-the-art technology combining specific high frequencies of electricity and sound to break down congested lymphatic fluid. It is equipped with glass wands that contain inert gases Argon, Krypton and Xenon. The ionization of these gases produces energy and ions which penetrate the lymph system to break down protein and waste material. This contributes to detoxification which promotes proper drainage of the lymph nodes. 

During therapy, the therapist will glide the wands in line with the body’s natural lymph flow to promote the movement of fluid towards specific lymph nodes and lymphatic drainage pathways. Each session has the equivalent effect of 8 to 10 manual lymphatic massages!
