We treat swelling

Your swelling has a root cause and it can be treated. Everyday we help people make a change for the better with their health. Let's get started. Lymphatic massage is a gentle therapy that relieves acute and chronic swelling. It encourages the movement of lymph to reduce swelling and speed healing. It’s a primary therapy for lymphedema and lipedema. MLD therapy also reduces or eliminates swelling from cancer treatments, after injuries, and following surgery. Learn more at www.mldclinic.ca
