Cortney Santos is a licensed bodywork therapist and certified lymphedema therapist, specializing in lymphatic health and TMJ dysfunction.

Cortney has an online wellness business for busy women and moms teaching lymphatic massage self-care. Cortney also owns Colysa Therapies in Bedminster, NJ where she supports post-op recovery for clients healing from a wide range of surgeries.

Lymphatic massage can stimulate fluid movement and reduce puffiness
How to stimulate lymph nodes for effective lymphatic drainage
Posture significantly impacts lymphatic flow and overall health
Movement and hydration are essential for lymphatic function
How to decrease swelling in the ankles and legs

What is TMJ and how myofascial release techniques can help ease pain
