"Why is Manual Lymphatic Drainage important after plastic surgery (Tummy tuck, Liposuction or any other plastic surgery)?"

After a plastic surgery procedure, you many notice a hardness, water retention/swelling, hematoma or lumpiness to the areas treated. This is normal right after your surgery.

This post-surgical lymphedema is caused by inflammation and trauma to the tissue surrounding the area.

Manual Lymph Massage helps to move the fluid by gently pumping it back into the lymph vessels, reducing the swelling and pain after the surgery.

Without Lymph Massage (MLD) the inflammation can evolve into more serious complications.

Many doctors prescribe Lymph Drainage Therapy after liposuction or other plastic surgery procedures to make sure their patients get the best possible results from their procedure.

PREGNANCY MASSAGE

The Benefits of Prenatal Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage has been used for centuries to improve overall health, reduce stress, and relieve muscle tension.
Research shows prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes and newborn health.
It addresses different needs through varying techniques. Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Swedish Massage are most commonly used during pregnancy.

Swedish Massage aims to relax muscle tension and improve lymphatic and blood circulation through mild pressure applied to the muscle groups of the body.
Lymphatic drainage massage techniques are used in areas which show signs of edema, mainly legs, feet and hands.
Swedish Massage is the recommended massage method during pregnancy because it addresses many common discomforts associated with the skeletal and circulatory changes brought on by hormone shifts.

Reasons to Detox #1

Our bodies need an inflammation response to heal infections and injuries as well as to maintain good health. Excessive inflammation response, however, can be harmful to our body.

This is why detoxing is so critical to living a low inflammatory lifestyle.

Detoxing means getting rid of the harmful chemicals to let your body cleanse and reset. If we can help our body get rid of toxins, dangerous chemicals and other harmful stressors, we can reduce the toxin accumulation and relieve our body’s immune response.

Dry brushing is the process of using a brush with stiff bristles against the skin to enhance blood flow and increase drainage of lymphatic fluids, thereby flushing toxins from the body.
It is not skin exfoliation, but rather a unique, gentle twist on performing self manual lymphatic drainage. Another potential tool in our lymphedema toolbox which may or may not work for you.

The brush should never break the skin and it also shouldn’t hurt.

Dry brushing is not recommended for people with sensitive skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and excessive dry skin, as it can aggravate the condition and potentially cause painful irritation.

If you would like to know more about Dry Brushing, let us know in the comments!

Lest we forget!

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Our Story

Hi, I’m Ilka, a German qualified physio and massage therapist since 2003.

I offer a variety of specialised massages treatments; from Deep Tissue and Sports massage to Remedial massage.

I have specialised in manual lymphatic drainage and decompression therapy in 2005 and mainly worked with clients after cancer treatment to help reduce lymphedema and post surgery clients to decrease swelling and regain mobility.

Over the years more and more clients came to see me for other reasons as manual lymphatic drainage can help a variety of conditions like Fibromyalgie, Arthritis, Migraines,Stress, Fatigue and Skin conditions.
