Lymphatic Massage vs. Vodder Technique (My specialty): What’s the Difference?

As a practitioner who works closely with sensitive populations—those navigating cancer, recovery, and chronic conditions. I’m often asked about the difference between general lymphatic massage and the Vodder technique of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).

Both support the body’s natural detoxification and immune function, but they serve different purposes and are practiced in distinct ways.

Lymphatic Massage (General)
- Definition: A broad term for techniques that stimulate lymph flow and support overall wellness.
- Style: Can range from gentle strokes to more vigorous, sculpting movements depending on the practitioner.
- Purpose: Often used to reduce puffiness, improve circulation, support detoxification, and promote relaxation.
- Setting: Common in spas, wellness centers, and holistic practices.

Vodder Technique (Manual Lymphatic Drainage)
- Origin: Developed by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s, rooted in precise anatomical and physiological principles.
- Style: Gentle, rhythmic, and highly specific hand movements that follow lymphatic pathways.
- Purpose: Clinically used to treat lymphedema (along with bandaging), post-surgical swelling, chronic inflammation, and immune support.
- Training: Practitioners are certified in Vodder MLD and follow strict protocols.
- Setting: Frequently used in medical, rehabilitative, and oncology massage environments.

Which One Is Right for You?
- For general detox, beauty, and relaxation: Lymphatic massage may be ideal.
- For medical conditions or post-surgical care: Vodder MLD is often recommended due to its precision and clinical backing.

Both approaches honor the body’s natural rhythms, but the Vodder method is especially suited for sensitive populations—like those I serve in cancer care and recovery. It’s a gentle, intentional way to support healing from the inside out.

☃️☃️If you know someone who travels to Syracuse for MLD/Bandaging in the Winter months please give them my information - I offer my services for them at no cost.

Potential Client - "I was told that to get my knots out, I need a deep tissue massage but that didn't work and it hurted me. Why?

Me - One powerful subject people often don’t realize about massage—especially therapeutic massage—is how deeply it supports the nervous system.

Most think of massage as muscle work or stress relief. But here’s what many don’t know:

- It activates the parasympathetic nervous system—the “rest and digest” mode—helping the body shift out of fight-or-flight.

- It can lower cortisol, regulate breathing, and support vagal tone, which affects emotional resilience and digestion.

- Skilled touch can help release trauma stored in the body, even if the client isn’t consciously aware of it.

This is especially impactful for caregivers, trauma survivors, and anyone living in chronic stress. They may not realize that massage isn’t just about relaxing muscles—it’s about helping the entire body feel safe enough to heal.

Massage and Whole Person Care
As awareness grows around the importance of nurturing the whole self, more individuals are embracing practices that honor the mind-body connection. Massage therapy is evolving in response—shifting from symptom relief to soul support. In my work, I weave techniques that not only ease physical discomforts like pain, anxiety, and depression, but also uplift emotional and mental well-being. Each session becomes a sacred invitation to restore balance, deepen presence, and awaken the body’s innate wisdom.

Shannon has graciously opened her space to me. It's a beautiful collaboration rooted in mutual respect, care, and a shared devotion to healing. Together, we offer a sanctuary where bodywork becomes ritual, and restoration is held with reverence.

With that being said, I'd love to introduce my dear friend, LMT Shannon—a gifted practitioner with a deep focus in Orthopedic Massage and a rich toolkit of deep tissue modalities, including cupping. We've shared over 20 years of friendship, and I can say with full heart: Shannon is someone you can trust to walk beside you on your healing journey. Her skill, integrity, and intuitive care make her a true ally in bodywork and restoration.

🌿 🌿 Change is the rhythm of life—some shifts align with our soul, others invite us to choose anew. I’ve listened deeply, and now I’m rooted in a new space: Family Chiropractic Care on Route 37.

Come re-center. Reconnect. Return to your deepest self.
This isn’t just massage—it’s a sacred journey inward,
a soft unraveling back to your spiritual core,
where true healing begins.

Begin again—from the inside out.
Step into a sacred space where the old is gently released,
and a fresh current of clarity and vitality flows in.
This is your invitation to transform, to renew,
to remember the light that lives within.

I am available only on Fridays. Send me a text or call (315) 221-3692

✨ Kindness deserves to be honored.
Starting in August, I made a quiet vow: to offer a free massage to anyone who truly moved me with their kindness and authenticity. Today, I met someone who did just that.
My granddaughter had a haircut appointment with Ashley McGuire. While I waited in the car for a bit, I eventually stepped inside and was greeted by a friendly gentleman who mentioned he was disabled. He was pleasant, and his presence added a gentle hum of humanity to the space.
But what truly caught my attention was Ashley. As she worked, her smile radiated something rare—genuine warmth. Even while answering the gentleman’s questions, her energy remained calm, attuned, and deeply empathetic. She checked in with my granddaughter throughout the haircut, asking about the length, the shape, making sure she felt seen and heard. And then, with such grace, she told her: “If you ever style your hair and it doesn’t feel right, just reach out—I’ll fix it for free.”
That kind of care isn’t taught. It’s soul-deep.
So I asked Ashley if she’d ever had a massage before. She said yes. I smiled and said, “Wonderful. I’m a massage therapist, and I’d love to offer you a free massage in September—because you have such a beautiful soul. Just contact the The Wellness Cottage crystals and schedule your appointment”
Thank you, Ashley. Keep shining that radiant smile and spreading your kindness like glitter—it sticks to hearts in the best way. 🌟

Maybe Potential Client - "Since you are in a "Woowoo shop, does that mean yur massages are?"

NY State Licensed Massage Therapist, Patti - I have my massage practice at the Wellness Cottage shop, a Metaphysical shop. I understand that many people carry assumptions or discomfort around metaphysical spaces, often rooted in unfamiliarity, fear of judgment, or spiritual misalignment. As a NY licensed Massage Therapist occupying space there, gives me a beautiful opportunity to gently bridge that gap. I would like people to feel safe, curious, and open when they walk into our metaphysical space.

You don’t have to believe in crystals.
You don’t have to know what an altar is.
You don't have to know what reading your cards are.
You don't have to know what pendulum reading is.
You don’t have to be spiritual, mystical, or anything other than tired.

My massage room lives inside a metaphysical shop, yes—
but it’s really a sanctuary for rest.
For breath.
For letting go.
If you’ve never had a massage…
If you’ve felt unsure, guarded, or afraid to be seen…
This space was made for you.
No pressure. No performance.
Just a soft table, warm hands, and a quiet place to come back to yourself.
Come as you are.
Leave a little lighter.

By the way - Hope to see you soon!
with love and peace,
Patti-Jo

****I just have to add this because, because I can -
When you walk in, you’ll be greeted—not with incense and chanting (Unless you want that)—but with warmth.
