Medi Massage Lymphatics

Gentle, effective therapy for swelling, pain, and tissue healing

At Medi Massage Lymphatics, we’re proud to offer Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT) — a gentle yet powerful treatment that supports lymphatic drainage, reduces pain, and promotes healing at the cellular level.

Whether you’re managing lymphoedema, lipoedema, recovering after surgery, or living with chronic swelling or fibrosis, DOT can be an important part of your care and recovery plan.

What is Deep Oscillation Therapy (DOT)?

DOT is an advanced therapy that uses low-frequency electrostatic pulses to create deep, rhythmic vibrations within your tissues.
Unlike traditional manual techniques, these vibrations reach up to 8 cm beneath the skin, gently stimulating muscles, connective tissue, and the lymphatic system.

This creates a soothing “internal massage” effect that helps to:
💧 Support lymphatic flow and fluid movement
🔥 Reduce inflammation and swelling
🌿 Soften tight or fibrotic tissue
🤸‍♀️ Improve mobility and comfort
⏱️ Accelerate recovery after surgery or injury

How Does It Work?

Using a handheld applicator, your therapist delivers gentle electrostatic pulses through gloves or electrodes, depending on the treatment area.
You’ll feel a soft, rhythmic vibration — never painful or harsh.

Because DOT is light, non-invasive, and deeply effective, it’s especially suited for sensitive or post-surgical areas that cannot tolerate stronger treatments.

Conditions Supported by DOT

DOT can benefit a wide range of conditions, including:
• Lymphoedema and Lipoedema – Enhances lymphatic drainage and reduces heaviness, discomfort, and swelling
• Post-Surgical Recovery – Reduces swelling and scar tissue; supports faster healing after surgeries such as mastectomy, joint replacement, or abdominoplasty
• Radiation Fibrosis – Softens fibrotic tissue and restores flexibility after radiation therapy
• Chronic Pain or Inflammation – Decreases pain and improves oxygen flow to tissues
• Scars and Adhesions – Improves scar mobility and encourages healthy tissue regeneration
• Sports Injuries – Assists recovery from sprains, strains, or overuse
• Fibrosis Prevention – Helps prevent hardening of tissues after surgery or injury

Why Choose Deep Oscillation Therapy?

✅ Clinically Proven: Supported by research and widely used in lymphoedema and post-cancer rehabilitation across Europe
🌸 Gentle and Non-Invasive: Safe for fragile or post-surgical tissues and clients with pain sensitivity
💪 Complementary Care: Works beautifully alongside Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), compression therapy, and rehabilitation exercise
🚶‍♀️ No Downtime: You can return to normal activities right after your session

Who Can Benefit?

DOT is suitable for people at all stages of healing, including:
• After cancer surgery or radiation therapy
• During lymphoedema or lipoedema management
• For ongoing swelling, tightness, or discomfort
• During recovery from injury or joint surgery
• For chronic conditions such as fibromyalgia

DOT can also be used proactively to support healing early on and reduce the risk of complications like fibrosis or delayed wound recovery.

Sessions typically last 60 minutes and may be combined with other therapies such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), laser therapy, or compression support depending on your treatment goals.

🌿 PROPERTY OF LYMPHATICA 🌿

What You Don’t See After Surgery: The Silent Swell Beneath the Skin 🌿

Why Lymphatic Drainage Is Essential for Post-Op Healing

This image shows the stages of healing after major surgery — the bruising, the sutures, the swelling… and beneath it all, a silent storm of inflammation and fluid accumulation that most people never talk about:

👉 Lymphatic overload.
👉 Internal stagnation.
👉 Trauma that the body can’t drain fast enough.

🌀 Surgery Disrupts the Body’s Natural Drainage System

When you undergo surgery, your lymphatic system — the body’s inner cleansing and immune network — is often cut through, compressed, or shut down temporarily.
• Lymphatic vessels are delicate. Even minor surgical trauma can cause blockages.
• The body floods the area with immune cells and fluid. This is part of healing, but when drainage is impaired, it turns into painful swelling, tightness, and a higher risk of complications.
• Scar tissue traps fluid. Without proper drainage, inflammation lingers longer than it should.

🔬 The Science: Why Lymphatic Drainage After Surgery Matters

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, medically recognized therapy that helps restore the flow of lymph fluid after surgery.

📚 Studies have shown that post-operative MLD can accelerate wound healing, reduce edema by up to 60%, decrease pain levels, and minimize the risk of infection or fibrosis (Öztürk et al., 2020; Liao et al., 2017).

🧬 Here’s What Lymph Drainage Can Do Post-Surgery:

✅ Reduces Swelling – by clearing stagnant lymph fluid trapped under the skin
✅ Prevents Scar Tissue Complications – especially around joints or implants
✅ Boosts Immune Response – helping to fight post-op infections
✅ Improves Range of Motion – by reducing tightness from swelling
✅ Speeds Up Healing – by clearing cellular waste and inflammation
✅ Supports Emotional Recovery – releasing pressure and improving nervous system tone

📷 Behind This Image

This is not just a photo of a scar.

It’s the battlefield of recovery — a body doing its best to heal, while quietly pleading for support. Look closer, and you’ll see:
• Tissue trauma
• Fluid congestion
• Yellowing from stagnant blood and lymph
• The slow, brave return of circulation

But healing shouldn’t be this hard. And it doesn’t have to be.

🌿 The Takeaway

Lymphatic therapy after surgery is not luxury — it is medicine.
It’s the gentle, hands-on care that tells your body:
“I see your trauma, and I’m helping you carry it out.”

If you’ve had surgery — from knee replacements to cosmetic procedures —
Please don’t wait until you’re swollen, stiff, or scarred.
Support your lymph. Support your healing.
