Attention to breast feeding Mum's and health care workers! ✨️

Do you know the importance of lymphatic drainage massage and breast health for breast feeding mothers? ✨️

Manual Lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet powerful massage treatment, which helps to reduce inflammation and swelling and remove toxins from the body! ✨️

How does it help during breast feeding? ✨️

Recent research has shown MLD to:

✨️ Provide immediate significant improvements in pain, engorgement and plugged duct severity.

✨️ MLD can reduce swelling and inflammation, therefore reducing the severity of mastitis, if started early enough.

✨️ MLD has shown to enhance milk production whilst lactating.

✨️ MLD can be used as a preventative for mastitis and plugged ducts, if used as part of your ongoing health care treatment!

has written a well researched article outlining the role of lymphatic drainage in breast feeding.

INCREDIBLE RESULTS✨️

11 days post lipoedema extraction surgery vs 8 weeks.✨️

Obviously after 6 weeks there is going to be some noticeable changes. ✨️

However manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), can definietly speed up the healing process. ✨️

In this clients case the bruising and swelling have reduced significantly. ✨️

Also, what you don't see is the fibortic tissue, which had formed under the skin has also significantly reduced. MLD plays a huge part in reducing fibrosis. ✨️

Fibrotic tissue post lipouction surgery is characterised by hard lumpy areas under the skin. This can slow down the healing process, affect the aesthetic outcome, as well as causing some pain and discomfort to the area.✨️

With regards to this client her results are clearly having a great surgeon, as well as sticking to strict post surgery protoco;l including eating a very clean inflammatory diet, supplements and regular MLD treatments! ✨️

If you would like to know how I can help with post surgery recovery please DM me.✨️

Have you recently had surgery? ✨️

If so, you may feel some hardness under the skin close to the incision sight. If you've had liposuction or lipoedema extraction surgery, the hardness may be over a larger area. ✨️

This is fibrotic tissue and is not uncommon to observe post surgery. It involves the thickening and scarring of connective tissue, and is significantly different from post surgery swelling - which is soft and fluidy. ✨️

It is important to prevent and/or treat this fibrotic tissue, as the longer you leave it the harder it can become, causing pain, stiffness and disconfort. ✨️

It can also prevent the flow of lymphatic fluid, causing congestion and more swelling. ✨️

The best way to manage fibrosis is by wearing your compression garment as directed by your surgeon. ✨️

It's also important to have a lymphatic drainage massage soon after surgery to help encourage lump flow. Especially important to find a therapist qualified in post surgery lymphatic drainage.✨️

A good balanced nutritious diet will help provide all the, proteins, vitamins and minerals to help you heal.✨️

Drinking plenty of filtered water is also essential to help lymph flow. ✨️

I am a Dr Vodder qualified lymphatic drainage therapist, and a bachelor qualified Naturopath/Nutritionist specialising in Lymphoedema, Lipoedema and Post-surgery care. ✨️

The magic of lymphatic drainage. ✨️

Nearly 4 weeks post surgery and quite a large haematoma had formed which had also become very hard. ✨️

After 60 mins of manual lymphatic drainage (Dr Vodder technique), and low level laser, the haematoma had significantly reduced and soften.✨️

Experiencing results like this, gives me so much joy. ✨️

If you would like to know how lymphatic drainage can help you post surgery, please DM me for a chat. ✨️

June is Lipoedema Awareness Month. 💫

It's all about shining a light and bringing awareness to the struggles and strides of the lipoedema community and the women living with this often painful condition.✨️

Lipoedema is an inflammatory condition, which causes excess of abnormal fat to accumulate usually in the lower body and arms. ✨️

It has a wide variety of symptoms including pain, heaviness, swelling and increase in size. It is a progressive disease, and doesn't respond to diet and exercise like ordinary fat. ✨️

Even though it affects 11% of the female population, it continues to be under diagnosed, misunderstood and even dismissed. ✨️

By sreading awareness we can help bring change. 🌟

Lymphatic drainage massage is an important part of your post-surgery recovery. ✨️

In fact many cosmetic surgeons especially in Europe and the US recommend post-operative lymphatic drainage as part of their post-surgery care due to the reduction in swelling and bruising

WOW, WOW, WOW!🌟

I just spent an incredible two weeks in Adelaide to gain my Dr Vodder Level 3 Lymphoedema Certificate! ✨️

The course was intensive. Long days and not much down time. My brain is a little fried, but was absolutely worth it. ✨️

Our teachers were the best of the best!✨️

Professor Neil Piller the Director of Lymphoedema Clinical Research Unit, Department of Surgery, Flinders University!✨️

His knowledge all things lymphatic is absolutely astounding. I found his discussion, on gut health, diet and lymphatic especially interesting.✨️

Koby Blanchfield a Senior Instructor and over 30 years as a Dr Vodder Lymphoedema Therapist, came all the way from Canada to teach us the practical side of managing Lymphoedema.✨️

I feel so utterly blessed to have the opportunity to learn from such esteemed experts in the lymphoedema world.✨️

I didn't see too much of Adelaide. Though what I did see I loved and will definietly be back for a visit. ✨️

I saw the most beautiful sunsets and made some incredible new friends. ✨️

Very grateful for it all! 🌟

If you have lymphoedema, or at risk of having it, or if you know someone that does. Please contact me. I am happy to have a chat, on how I can help.
