Lymphatic Massage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a subtle and relaxing technique used to increase the movement of the lymph and interstitial fluid. This technique is very light but effective in moving lymphatic fluid out of an area where it has become congested. I may combine complimentary techniques like hot stone or cupping therapy to aid in the movement of lymphatic fluid.

Using the Vodder technique, manual lymphatic drainage massage is very gentle and is used to increase the movement of lymph and insterstitial fluid. Our lymphatic systems can become overtaxed due to a variety of different causes and edema may develop. The purpose of lymphatic massage is to reduce edema by assisting the lymphatic system in circulating lymph fluid throughout the body or past areas where lymph nodes may be compromised due to lymph node removal, scar tissue or radiation.

Some examples of conditions that may benefit from lymphatic massage are:
Sprains
Whiplash
Hematoma
Post-Surgical Edema
Oncology
Palliative Care
Fibromyalgia
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Scleroderma
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome
Anxiety
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Stress
General Detoxification and Enhanced Immune Function
Migraine
Pregnancy Edema
Diabetes

Please note that I am trained to treat only mild and medically uncomplicated forms of primary and secondary lymphedema. I have been trained in the Vodder technique through Klose and Chikly institutes. I have taken lymphatic training in post liposuction techniques as well. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions regarding the Vodder technique and whether it is right for you.
