Did anyone else feel that time change yesterday?⏰

When the clocks shift, our bodies often feel it too...fatigue, tension, brain fog, or just feeling a little "off".

That's your sign to slow down and take care of yourself.

Whether it's a relaxing massage, a rejuvenating facial, or simply an hour of quiet time to reset your nervous system, a little wellness goes a long way this time of year!

Spring is a season of renewal...and you deserve to feel renewed too!💐

Today is World Lymphedema Day 💙

Lymphedema affects millions of people worldwide, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood and under-recognized medical conditions. For those living with lymphedema, every day can involve managing swelling, protecting the skin, wearing compression, and prioritizing lymphatic health.

But today is about more than the condition itself — it’s about awareness, education, advocacy, and hope.

Lymphedema can develop after cancer treatment, surgery, trauma, or from congenital causes. While it is a lifelong condition and there is no cure, it is manageable, and people living with lymphedema deserve access to proper care, early diagnosis, and knowledgeable providers.

As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist, I have the privilege of working with individuals navigating this journey. I witness daily the resilience, strength, and determination of those managing lymphedema, and it continues to inspire me.

Today we:
💙 Raise awareness
💙 Support those living with lymphedema
💙 Advocate for better access to treatment and education
💙 Celebrate progress in lymphatic health and research

If you or someone you love lives with lymphedema, please know you are not alone. Your experience matters, your voice matters, and your care matters.

Let’s continue spreading awareness so more people receive the support and treatment they deserve.

Dr. Courtney Sproat, PT, DPT, CLT has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the lymphatic system, and we are so grateful to have her on our team here at AMC! Check out the information she shared in her most recent post!

✨ Understanding Lymphatic Work: What’s the Difference?

You may hear terms like manual lymphatic drainage, lymphatic massage, and lymphatic facials. While they sound similar, they serve different purposes and are performed by different professionals.

🩺 Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, medically-based technique developed by Dr. Emil Vodder and used in clinical settings.

✔ Performed by Certified Lymphedema Therapists and medically trained providers (usually PT’s, OT’s, & massage therapists)
✔ Used for lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, oncology recovery, and chronic edema
✔ Uses precise sequencing and extremely light skin stretch
✔ No oils or lotions are used
✔ Follows specific lymphatic drainage pathways

💆‍♀️ Lymphatic Massage (Whole Body) is a gentle wellness massage approach that supports relaxation and encourages fluid movement.

✔ Typically performed by licensed massage therapists
✔ Promotes relaxation and circulation
✔ May reduce mild fluid retention and support recovery
✔ May incorporate light oil or lotion
✔ Usually not a treatment for medical lymphatic conditions

🌿 Lymphatic-Inspired Facials is a cosmetic facial massage designed to reduce puffiness and promote skin vitality.

✔ Performed by licensed estheticians or trained professionals
✔ Encourages superficial fluid movement
✔ Helps reduce facial puffiness & sinus congestion
✔ Enhances skin glow and relaxation
✔ Does not treat lymphatic disorders

✨ All three approaches can support wellness when used appropriately.

If you have persistent swelling, recent surgery, or a history of lymph node removal, I highly encourage you to find a Certified Lymphedema Therapist.

Education empowers safe, effective care.

I am very passionate about my work and what I do. I want people to receive the proper care and treatment from properly trained and certified professionals. Lymphatic drainage may be trending but it is often used loosely in marketing to promote services so don’t be afraid to ask for someone’s credentials!

I completed a 135-hour certification program after graduate school to become a Certified Lymphedema Therapist and have been working in the field for almost 4 years. I still continue to learn and expand my knowledge in this area because people have real lymphatic conditions that are often overlooked and/or misdiagnosed.

I know lymphatic drainage techniques for the whole body, I understand the lymphatic anatomy and the body’s natural pathways, I know when it is safe to perform lymphatic drainage and when it is not. Anyone offering lymphatic drainage should know all of this, too. Your lymphatic system is one of the most important systems in your body and deserves proper care just like your circulatory and respiratory systems. It plays a crucial role in your overall health and you want to make sure you put it in good hands when receiving services. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever have any questions.
