“What even is lymphatic drainage—and do I need it?”
If you’ve ever asked that (especially after a tough workout, surgery, or just feeling puffy and off), you’re not alone.
⚡MLD is a gentle yet effective way to support recovery—whether you’re healing from an injury or just trying to feel better in your body.⚡
I've been certified in the Vodder method since 2020. Since then, I've taken additional post-op and oncology training, as well as becoming an instructor with the Academy of Lymphatic Studies.
I’ve worked with athletes, post-op clients, and folks dealing with chronic inflammation. And the truth is: when your lymph system flows, everything else works better.
This helps breaks down the basics—how MLD works, when it helps, and why it’s worth knowing about.
Swipe through, save it, share it. Recovery isn’t just about pushing harder—it’s about supporting smarter. Let me know how I can help! ⚡

Ah the mighty hip flexors! They often become tight from prolonged sitting, lack of movement, or intense workouts. Strengthening and stretching these muscles is key to improving mobility and preventing discomfort.

Keep moving to stay flexible!
⬇️⬇️⬇️

Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch

🔹Kneel Down: Start in a kneeling position on a soft surface.
🔹Step Forward: Step your right foot forward, creating an approximate 90 to120-degree angle with your knee.
🔹Align Your Hips: Keep your hips square and tuck your tail to eliminate an excessive arch in your low back, ensuring your left knee is directly behind your left hip.
🔹Shift Forward: Gently push your hips forward while keeping your back straight.
🔹Use Props! Depending on mobility and comfort, use props that you have at your disposal! A small cushion or towel under the back knee. A small stool, weight bench, the wall, or your couch for balance or support.
🔹Feel the Stretch: You should feel a stretch sensation in the front of your left hip. Find a stretch sensation of a 7/10 as you will be maintaining this position for 2 minutes. Fascia takes time to adapt!
🔹Switch Sides: Slowly come out of the stretch, lie flat on your back for 1 minute to reset and repeat the stretch on the opposite side!

Try for 2 rounds on each side!

Before you jump into this hamstring stretch, give the hip flexors a stretch first!
It is generally important to focus on opening up the hip flexors prior to the hamstrings, as the hamstrings become taught as an adaptation to extended periods of time sitting. When the front side of the body is tight (hip flexors), it makes the back side of the body taut (hamstrings).

🔷bring your foot up onto a chair
🔷bend the knee of the foot on the chair
🔷bring the chest to the thigh
🔷gently allow the hips to sink back, without straightening the leg completely - keeping a bend in it
🔷activate by pressing the heel towards the floor
🔷pull the heel back towards the butt and hold for a 5 count
🔷stop pulling, take a deep breath and slowly let the hips sink further back
🔷repeat the activation/rest process for 2 minutes to create both neuromuscular and connective tissue change

Hamstring mobility can enhance performance in activities like running, jumping, and bending. Having adequate range of motion in your hamstrings promotes overall muscle balance, enhances performance, and reduces the risk of injury and discomfort.

🔹 Happy Stretching! 🔹

Interested in hearing what the hype about cupping is? Commonly referred to as myofascial decompression, this technique enhances motion efficiency using negative pressure tools (cups) and unlocks the potential of fascial mobility and neuromuscular re-education. With skilled application, it can be a great tool to increase blood flow, help with recovery, and provide the stimulus to create change.

Claire had been using cups since 2015 and is happy to introduce you to the technique at no additional charge during your session. She believes less is more with this type of work, and often will only use 1 or 2 cups at a time, incorporating gliding techniques and range of motion in the affected area. While discoloration in the tissue can occur, it is not the goal, nor is it indicative of toxins or the effectiveness of treatment.

Interested in seeing if it could be right for you? Chat with Claire at your next session!

This simple stretch can be a great option to get into the quadratus lumborum (AKA QL) in the low back. It may help open the hips, low back, lateral neck and any other areas that could be feeling restricted. ⁣
🔹Sit with your legs crossed and lean to the side.
🔹Try to get your forearm to the floor, while holding your opposite knee down with the same-side hand.
🔹Let the neck hang and be heavy.
🔹Hold the stretch for 2 minutes, being mindful of your breath, and gently roll forward to come out of the stretch.
🔹Rest for one minute.
🔹Do the same thing on the other side, repeating each side 2-3x.

Enjoy the new space you've created in your body!

📌If you're unable to stay balanced, it is no problem to lean up against a wall or other surface. You can also sit on a bolster or uncross your legs to find a comfortable and sustainable position. If you cannot reach the floor with your arm, blocks, rolled towels and other props are your friend!
