Suzanne Ngui Millar, RMT has recently completed an Advanced Level 3 lymphedema/chronic edema management training with certification in the Dr. Vodder method of Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) and Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) offered by the internationally recognized Dr. Vodder School.
CDT enables Suzanne to manage patients with lymphedema and chronic edema, using a combination of Manual Lymph Drainage, Exercise Therapy, Compression Bandaging and Skin Care.
CDT allows advanced care of patients with lymphedema, whether from surgery, radiation or congenital malformation. Suitable venous edema, lipedema and other types of chronic edema may also be managed successfully with these techniques.
Apart from increasing lymph flow, MLD also has pain-relieving effect and can be used with recent trauma, such as sports injuries. Patients find the techniques soothing and relaxing with no side effects. It is a gentle, rhythmic massage-like movement, performed with a great deal of precision and requires a well-trained therapist to obtain good results.
