​Who can provide Lymphatic Therapy?

It is imperative to your health that you find a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. A CLT has received specialized certification to provide qualified lymphatic treatments and to safely coach you on how to manage your swelling, bloating and symptoms.

​

After surgery or liposuction, Doctors can refer patients to receive a series of post- op Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy treatments to assist in the healing process. This should only be provided by a Health professional with the CLT, Certified Lymphedema Therapist title.

 

MLD is a Manual Therapy, similar to how Physical Therapy helps the body with specific movements. Manual Lymphatic Therapy is highly recommended for Lymphedema and Post-Op Cosmetic Surgery patients.

 

MLD can reduce swelling, reduce infection and assist in healing where incisions have been made by reducing fibrosis.

More about surgeries and swelling

Inflammation and swelling: any surgical intervention, no matter its reasons, is perceived by the body as an injury. As such, it will initiate an inflammatory response that allows for blood coagulation and tissue stability. This results in increased fluid retention in the tissues. Hopefully, in weeks the body resolves this inflammation and swelling on its own. But many times, the body struggles to work through this natural response, and what starts as an acute process becomes chronic, leading to more pain and fibrotic tissue.

Scar tissue: the body’s natural response to damage, this tissue will form to heal the incision. As opposed to healthy skin tissue though, scar tissue has fewer elastic qualities which limits the ability of the tissue to stretch. Over time, left unchecked scar tissue can limit range of motion and even create new pain patterns.

Edema: the swelling that follows an unresolved inflammatory response. This indicates an overload of our lymphatic system, and in serious conditions can lead to tissue damage, pain, and numbness.
Nerve damage: sometimes nerves can be damaged during a surgery. This may lead to decreased sensation in the region of surgery for weeks, sometimes months following.

About the Lymphatic System

​

Manual Lymphatic drainage is a Manual therapy that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body to be filtered and released.

​

Often, an accumulation of fluid can occur after lymph nodes are removed during surgery, most often a mastectomy for breast cancer. Lymphatic drainage massages can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and other conditions. Up to 25 percent of breast cancer patients whose surgery includes removal of lymph nodes in the area of the armpit eventually develop lymphedema.

​

The fluid in the lymphatic system is filtered by the lymph nodes. This natural process is simulated by your body's movement. Lymphatic drainage manually stimulates and enhances the lymph system to eliminate toxins.

This proven therapy is not new, although in recent years has received the attention of celebrities and health influencers feeds. Manual lymph drainage therapy is a technique developed in Paris by Dr Emil Vodder in the 1930's.

What is dry brushing?

Your lymphatic system loves to be dry brushed.

 

Dry brushing is a gentle treatment to stimulate lymph fluid. The lymphatic system is just superficial to the skin, meaning the lymph system flows just underneath the skin, it is not as deep as a muscle. Dry brushing intentionally in the direction of the lymph nodes enhances the filtering of fluid and toxins. Dry brushing is also an ideal exfoliation for the whole body.

Dry brushing the whole body has many health benefits.
