Bamboo Therapies

This lovely patient had lipedema liposuction last week. She came to me with tight swollen, sore legs post surgery. These are the results from one 60 minute, very gentle post op drainage session.

We started by opening the terminus, the main upper nodes of the neck and chest, gently pumping and stimulating the axillary(armpit) nodes, deep breathing techniques, slow breath in, slow breath out to stimulate the deeper abdominal nodes and then the inguinal(groin) and popliteal(behind knee) nodes.

Focus was then on the most gentle pump and drain of the full lower limbs, featherlight strokes due to the tissue trauma under the skins surface. Painless yet powerful.

Gentle hands = powerful results.

1st Session:
*Bruising is subsiding
*Calves are less swollen
*Ankles are less swollen
*Knees are less swollen & taking shape
*Circulation is better
*Skin is smoother and looking healthier
*Insertion wounds are healing nicely

I get asked a lot “what do you actually do for post surgery patients?”

This 🙌
This is what I do. This is what post surgery patients visit me for:

💫 I help ease and reduce their post surgery swelling.

💫I help to stimulate their own natural drainage system.

💫I listen to what their surgeons advise and work alongside their advice, offering safe practice.

💫I create and tailor individual treatment plans to ensure all my patients have the potential to reach their end goal.

💫I perform scar therapy throughout my patients healing journey to ensure smooth, even results.

💫I teach specific lymphatic techniques for patients to implement at home, between sessions for maximum results.

💫I offer post surgery advice to the best of my knowledge, and if I can’t, I reach out to other professionals for the best advice.

💫I learn, constantly. I’m an anatomy nerd. Learn- train- apply. Then I learn some more.

💫I get results.

I love what I do. I make a conscious effort to enjoy my work. Because I work a lot!
I am passionate about helping people feel the best they can and will offer any advice I know, pre and post surgery.

It’s hard, it’s demanding, it takes up lots of my time and I choose to do it because I love what I do🙌

If I could, I’d be a surgeon. But because I’m not, I’ll do the next best thing and help you after your surgery😊

⚠️SURGERY PATIENTS⚠️

Please contact me urgently to book your pre op consultations and all your post op sessions.

I am extremely busy and currently taking bookings for Feb and March.

I will not be able to accommodate all your necessary drainage sessions if you contact me after your surgery.

Please also ensure that your medical consent forms are fully completed prior to any appointments. I do not treat any patients without fully detailed, medical consent. This is for your safety and to ensure I can adapt and modify all sessions to meet your exact needs.

Thank you
Jeanette

Many clients/patients ask me why I do so much work on the neck, armpits and groin areas during a lymphatic drainage.

Look how many lymph nodes are in these areas. Over 600 in the whole body and around 200 just in the neck and chest area.

I always start my drainage sessions with the neck and chest, armpits stomach and groin.

Once the main nodes are stimulated, drainage is more effective.

Your lymphatic vessels pulsate on average around 6 times per minute. This is called LYMPHANGION MOTORICITY- the speed at which our bodies naturally drain.
By stimulating the system with specialised Dr Vodder techniques, this can be increased to around 30 pulsations a minute. Meaning a more effective elimination of toxins and waste for a healthy lymphatic system.

‼️WARNING⚠️GRAPHIC CONTENT‼️

9 weeks post surgery ~ gender transitioning.

Full top surgery for this fabulous patient. Double mastectomy, ni**le replacement and consistent manual lymphatic drainage and scar therapy carried out.

Scars are healing nicely, a little more work has been done on some slight hypertrophic areas today. Fluid has drained excellently and we had some amazing loud stomach noises due to drainage kicking in🙌(the medical term for this is borborygmi)

This patient is adhering brilliantly to all home care which has helped reduce swelling above the scars and has been following instructions to use the NAQI scar oil to help soften and heal the scarring.

What a journey, what a transformation. A few more sessions and these scars will be a lot lighter, flatter and all swelling will be gone.

Causes of Tattoo Flu:

1. Immunological Response
When you receive a tattoo, your immune system perceives both the tattoo ink and the tattoo needle used in the needling process as foreign intrusions. It kicks into gear, causing inflammation as part of the natural healing process.
2. Ink Allergy
It may come as a surprise, but you can be allergic to tattoo ink. Reactions can vary, with some people experiencing itching or swelling that mimics flu symptoms. Red and yellow inks are often culprits, but any color could potentially cause a reaction.
3. Infection Risks
A fresh tattoo is an open wound, which means it's exposed to bacteria that can lead to infection. Signs of an infected tattoo include excessive redness, warmth, worsening swelling, pus, or if you start to feel unwell with fever-these symptoms can mimic those of the flu.
4. Stress Factor
Getting a tattoo can be a stressful experience, both physically and emotionally. The pain and discomfort of the needling process, combined with the anxiety or excitement of getting a new tattoo, can take a toll on your body. Stress weakens your immune system, making you more susceptible to illness and infection.

Common Symptoms of Tattoo Flu:
Here are some common symtopms that you should pay attention to.
~Fever
~Chills
~Fatigue
~Headache
~Muscle Aches
~Joint Pain
~Nausea
~Loss of Appetite
~Swollen Lymph Nodes

DRAIN DRAIN DRAIN

Lymphatic drainage- helps to speed up the elimination of toxins helping the body heal quicker.

Getting a new tattoo? Get yourself booked in for treatment before and after.

I am currently very very busy. I have very limited availability left for the end of November and December. Please do not wait until the last minute to request an appointment as I will not be able to accommodate you.
If you are on a treatment plan or due to have surgery soon, please book ALL your sessions to guarantee availability.
Any cancellation slots advertised must be paid in full to secure the slot to avoid no shows.

Please also note- if you have failed to attend an appointment and not paid me for your session, I will not rebook you until the missed session is paid for in full. It’s how I run my business.

I am very easy going with changing and swapping appointments and will always try and work with you to ensure you can get in with me for treatment. Hence I take a 50% booking fee. All terms and conditions are sent to you on confirmation of booking with me first time.
