Below is a recent before and after of the therapy taken last week. The client does regular exercise and gets fluid retention, build up of wastes. So the therapy helps with the feeling of tightness from this retention and visually helps with fluid retention.
In February the client had injury to her foot, creating pain and discomfort that has been there since. Massage wasn't an effective treatment, so we did lymphatic drainage and it has been super effective with no current issues.
