Lymphatic Drainage Massage & Post Operative MLD
This treatment is a rhythmic treatment for the face and body which focuses directly on improving the flow of the Lymphatic System, by following the pathways of the Lymph vessels located throughout the body. I perform lymphatic drainage massage using bespoke techniques to naturally stimulate the lymph nodes using combination of Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage and Vodder techniques to give results. The Vodder method of Lymphatic Drainage Massage, which takes it roots back to the early 1930’s. This method aims to move lymphatic fluid from the body’s tissues and into the lymphatic vessels, soothing the body, calming the nervous system, and aiding in pain relief and as part of the post surgical rehabilitative process. You can get Lymphatic Massage 3 starting 3 days after surgery which can help with the healing process. Please allow at least an hour.

-
Swelling/Edema and post surgical issues

Lipedema

Scar Tissue Massage
Despite what you might think, Scar Massage is a very gentle way of softening and flattening and breaking up Scar tissue. It can stop scar tissue build up, pulling and tugging sensations and help make scars less noticeable. Your scar or scars will continue to grow and change for about twelve to eighteen months, so the earlier and more regularly you massage your scar, the less the chance of long-term problems. It is recommended to get scar massage 8 weeks after the injury once the site is fully healed, however, you can get manual lymphatic massage starting 3 days after surgery which can help promote the healing process and can even aid the scarring process.
Scar massage can help:
-
Reduce itchiness or over-sensitivity of scars
-
Improve the flexibility, mobility and softness of scars
-
Make collagen form more evenly by applying pressure
-
Stop the scar adhering to surrounding muscles and ligaments and restricting function.
-
Break fibrosis and promote lymphatic flow
​Oncology Massage
​
Oncology Massage is a safe and gentle form of massage specifically designed for people undergoing treatment or are in remission from treatment for cancer. Oncology Massage is a light gentle massage and very relaxing.
​
Oncology massage may help with pain, cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life, and meets evidence-based guidelines for aiding in the relief of depression and mood disorders in people with breast cancer. Massage may also play a role in the prevention of neuropathic pain related to chemotherapy drugs.
As part of my Oncology Massage service, I can also incorporate scar and post-surgery tissue massage to aid the healing process.
