What is the differennce is Lymphatic Massage and Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)

Let me tell you there is huge difference......and I guess it upset's me when someone completes a weekend or a day course in Lymphatics to then call themselves a 'qualified lymphatic therapist' and worse again treat people.

✨MLD is a precise, medically recognized technique developed by Dr. Vodder. It uses light, rhythmic, directional strokes to gently move lymph fluid, especially important after cancer treatments like lymph node removal. MLD is specifically designed to manage lymphedema safely without triggering inflammation or damage. Cancer patients should receive MLD from certified therapists who have undergone rigorous training from a recognised international school.

✨LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Lymphatic massage is a holistic therapy used for general health and wellbeing. Generally these therapies are from a massage therapist background. Lymphatic massage therapists are not trained to work on any body who has an impaired lymphatic system like those who have been treated for cancer or who have the genetic form of lymphoedema.
Post-Op Patients also need to be careful who they attend for Post-Op lymphatic Drainage.
While Lymphatic massage offers many benefits including relaxation, detox and improved circulation it must not be used on patients with compromised lymphatic systems.

The frequency of lymphatic drainage massage varies based on individual needs and goals, but generally, it can range from daily to monthly.

➡For general well-being,monthly or bi-monthly sessions may be sufficient.

➡For post-surgical or injury recovery, a series of weekly or bi-weekly sessions might be recommended initially, with frequency decreasing as swelling subsides.

➡Individuals with chronic conditions like lymphedema may require more frequent sessions, such as 2-3 times per week.

✨As a qualified Advanced Lymhoedema Specialist Therapist, I work with all of the above!!

✨Lymphatic Drainage promotes a better natural flow of lymphatic fluid from an area of tissue into a lymphnode

✨Lymphatic drainage naturally occurs in the body all the time. Certain bodies have sluggish or compromised lymphatic systems and they need assistance to help this process work more efficiently and effectively.

✨Receiving a treatment of manual lymphatic drainage will help your body boost itself.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Post Surgery.
✨ Reduces Swelling (Oedema) – Surgery often causes fluid retention and swelling. Lymphatic drainage helps remove excess fluid and reduce inflammation.
✨ Enhances Healing – By improving circulation and oxygenation, lymphatic drainage supports tissue regeneration and accelerates wound healing.
✨ Prevents Complications – Poor lymphatic flow can lead to complications like seromas (fluid buildup), hematomas, or fibrosis. Drainage helps minimize these risks.
✨Boosts Immune Function – The lymphatic system plays a key role in immune response, helping to clear bacteria and waste, reducing the risk of infection.
✨ Reduces Pain and Discomfort – By decreasing swelling and inflammation, lymphatic drainage can help alleviate post-operative pain and stiffness.
✨Improves Mobility and Comfort – Post-op stiffness and tightness can be relieved by promoting fluid movement and reducing tissue congestion.
✨Supports Detoxification – The lymphatic system helps remove toxins and metabolic waste, which is particularly important during the recovery phase.
This is especially beneficial after cosmetic procedures (like liposuction, tummy tucks, or facelifts), orthopedic surgeries, and lymph node-related procedures.

Manual lymphatic drainage performed by a trained professional can be a key component of post-op recovery & ensuring the best results from Surgery!

What is Lipoedema?

Lipoedema is a connective tissue and adipose tissue disorder that predominantly affects females. Lipoedema is typically present in the lower extremities but can be present in the upper extremities, especially the upper arms.
Research indicates that it may be hereditary and may be triggered by hormonal changes in the body; puberty, birth control, stress, pregnancy, fertility treatments, and menopause.
Current findings suggest that lipoedema is a progressive disease, so
early intervention is critical to avoid mobility restrictions,
inflammation, fibrosis, pain, secondary obesity, lymphedema, and
high volume liposuction.
