About Us
Gina Da Silva-Villalobos, LMP
Has been in practice on the Eastside for 15 years. A graduate from Seattle Massage School now currently Ashmead College.
She has studied with Diana Thompson ( Author of" Hands Heal"), Clint Chandler, Barb Frye, Carol Osborne-Sheets, James Waslaski, and Dr. Erik Dalton. Some anatomy courses at Bastyr University in Seattle. Currently takes continuing education through the Upledger Institute throughout the US and Canada and other international workshops regarding lymphatic Drainage, Pain Management and Rehabilitation. Her background includes having worked at Totem Sports Clinic, Chiropractic clinics in North Bend and Bellevue, as well as with acupuncturist and doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Marc Chesler.
Currently she works in private practice with surgeons at their clinics and/or surgery centers on the Eastside for post surgical lymphatic drainage to reduce swelling and soften scar tissue after surgeries. She has successfully worked with women who have had mastectomies to assist with the reduction of post surgical edema and the promotion of movement to the arm region within months rather than the traditional year's time without any treatment. Lymphatic Drainage is beneficial in post-surgical recovery on many levels to accelerate cell regeneration, soothe emotional trauma and educate the patient in self care and well being. She also works with women to soften the scar tissue and prepare for breast implants after their mastectomies.
Gina also performs injury treatment rehabitlitation for those who have had MVA's (car accidents), repetitive injuries that cause TOS ( thoracic outlet syndrome), Carpal tunnel, and many others that you can review in through the site under the therapeutic work that XSpaDitions provides. She is in the process of becoming credentialed to take some insurance carriers to make it convenient for clients/patients to receive services on a regular basis.
Gina also incorporates hydrotherapy treatments with a variety of patients to assist in the healing progression and promotes circulation to areas of concern according to their needs. Castor oil packs also are used or suggested to promote the stimulation of the lymph system during lymphatic drainage sessions and promote increased circulation. She strongly encourages and teaches self care techniques to increase the healing process. Your ability to understand your healing path is crucial in the improvement of your health.
Gina is a seasoned veteran of surgical procedures which have given her real and true hands on familiarity, skill and understanding of surgery recovery and has personally experienced great results with the current massage and lymphatic drainage techniques she has incorporated in her practice. Movement therapy and dance are another one of her passions to accelerate healing externally and internally. Regardless of what age one is or skill level, exercise and movement is crucial to keep circulation and range of motion at its best.
She is currently working on several literary projects, documentation and case studies regarding her work in order to help educate patients/clients, care providers, massage therapists and MD's on the benefits of massage and lymphatic drainage pre and post surgery.
