manual lymph drainage for lymphedema management

Surgical removal of lymph nodes, radiation  scarring, or injury can disturb the flow  of  lymph.   When  lymphatic vessels cannot  effectively transport fluid back into circulation,  the result is swelling, potential tissue damage, and increased risk of infection.   


Addressing  even  mild  lymphedema  requires consistent, comprehensive treatment including manual lymph drainage,   the  right  compression garments, therapeutic exercise, and skin care.    Manual  lymph  drainage  ( lymphatic  drainage  therapy,  MLD/LDT)  is at  the  core  of  treatment  for  lymphedema.  


If  you  had  surgery  or  radiation  that  involved  lymph  nodes,  you  should  be  evaluated  for  symptoms  of  lymphedema  and  learn  how  to  avoid  its  progression.  


Your  session  may  include  manual  lymph  drainage,  compression garment consultation and fitting,  negative pressure therapies such as lymphatic cupping, gentle myofascial release, fibrotic and scar tissue release,  kinesio taping, cold  laser therapy.

compression garment consultation, customization, & fitting

The  right compression  garments are essential in treating lymphedema and post-surgical post-lipo swelling.  


There are so many kinds of compression and it’s not  a case of one-size-fits-all, or of simply buying something at the drugstore.  Wearing an ill-fitting garment can actually do as much harm as good.  As your swelling reduces, your garment or foam boards need to be adjusted to maintain compression benefits.    


When you wear the  right compression, it is  providing  a therapeutic treatment, just as your active manual lymph drainage does.   

lymphatic massage post-plastic surgery/liposuction

Post-surgical swelling is caused by inflammation and trauma from the procedure.   Internal  scar  tissue  under  incisions  can  hinder   lymphatic  flow.   Channels  formed by the liposuction cannula  can fill up with fluid and the tissue can become  swollen  or  hardened.  


Lymphatic massage* helps  move the fluid  gently  back into the lymph vessels  where it  belongs.  Reducing the swelling  reduces discomfort  and  may  speed  your  recovery.   Without lymph  drainage  therapy,  patients  are  more  likely  to  develop fibrosis,  a chronic hardening of the tissue.  


Many doctors prescribe lymphatic  therapies after liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures to ensure their patients  get the best possible results from their  procedure  and  avoid  post-procedure  lumpiness.  


*This  is  a  precise,  gentle,  advanced  form  of  massage  specific  to  lymph.    A  general,  Swedish,  or  deep  tissue  massage  is  NOT   advised  for  lymphatic  recovery.

craniosacral therapy & integrative bodywork

Integrative  bodywork  may  address the whole person - nerves, muscles, meridians, joints, connective tissue, organ and fluid systems, and the subtle breath of life which animates them.  Lymphatic therapy, acupressure, cupping, massage, etc. may be combined. 


Craniosacral  therapy in  its  many  forms  may  be   thought  of  as  under  the  integrative  bodywork  umbrella  as  it gently  helps  the  body  release  and  unwind  old  tensions,  relieving   the  stress  of  pain and dysfunction.  It  can  be  profoundly  restorative.  


After your session, it’s a good idea to take it easy mentally and physically. Take a walk. Write or draw. Enjoy looking at the clouds. Have a cup of tea. Nap. However you do it,   allow  yourself  to  rest deeply. ​​


“Bodywork  is  soul  work.”  ~  Marion  Woodman

cold laser therapy

Cold  laser therapy  (photobiomodulation)  uses the effect of specific therapeutic wavelengths of light on the cells of  the body.   Therapeutic lasers emit visible coherent light in specific wavelengths .  Coherence is an essential factor in lasers  so  LEDs are not true lasers since their light is not coherent.


Bundles of light energy pass through the skin and activate light receptors within the cells of the body. In injured musculoskeletal tissue, the light initiates increased microcirculation, reduced inflammation, and enhanced tissue regeneration leading to decreased pain, and increased ease of motion.
 

The laser can penetrate up to several inches into tissue to promote cellular regeneration at the source of injury,  healing faster, and relieving pain without the side effects of injections or pharmaceuticals.  Useful  for  peripheral neuropathy,  post-injury  pain,  joint replacement recovery, reducing  fibrosis .
