Guidance

Gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage and Kinesiology taping techniques are used to support and promote the function of the body’s lymphatic system, boost the immune system, aid in detox, reduce swelling and puffiness, help rid the body of anaesthetic post surgery.

Some illnesses, surgery, anaesthesia, reduced fluid intake, and strains and sprains can lead to a congested and struggling lymphatic system causing fluid and toxin build up, less energy, tissue congestion and swelling.

Post OP

I am happy to provide treatment to support your body to eradicate the effects of anasthetic post op.

A few sessions a week over a couple of weeks is normally recommended, it is also recommend that you receive one treatment before your surgery.

Cancer and mastectomy.

MDL is regularly advised by Doctors, Surgeons and GP’s as a post mastectomy therapy to help reduce oedema (swelling), scar tissue build up, pain and discomfort.

I am happy to support you with oncology massage therapy, however I am unable to treat Oedema, Lymphoedema, those with full lymph removal from an area or post operative cancer patients with MLD. To be able to safely support someone with MLD who has cancer, Lymphedema, full lymph removal or Oedema, requires a therapist to undergo intensive training with a registered Level 3 Vodder Training School.

I am happy to recommend Chantelle Persaud who is a highly trained MLD practitioner.

Commitment

How many session will I need?

I recommend at least three sessions initially over three weeks to support your lymphatic system but these can be short sessions if needed. It is best to begin slow and build up.
