Lymphatic Drainage Therapy For Lymphoedema Care

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that can be successfully managed with ongoing combined decongestive therapy (CDT). This treatment combines compression therapy, lymph drainage therapy (massage), exercise and therapeutic skin care.

A case of secondary lymphoedema might typically occur after surgery, lymph node dissection and radiation therapy for breast cancer. Damage to lymph vessels and the loss of lymph nodes results in a reduced transport capacity of the lymphatic system whereby fluid and proteins may not be removed properly and start to accumulate in the tissues. As a result, swelling in the arm and chest may develop. Early detection and treatment are critical for heading off more severe symptoms.

The services I offer in my treatment sessions are:

  • -An individualised treatment plan
  • - Lymph drainage therapy massage
  • -Monitoring the effectiveness of treatment using the L-Dex XCA, a new tool that utilises bio-impedance spectroscopy analysis for assisting in the clinical assessment of unilateral lymphoedema of the arm. This method involves passing a low strength electrical current through the body and measuring the impedance to the flow of this current. The amount of resistance correlates with the amount of extracellular fluid that is present in the extremity and can be assessed against a normal range and the patient's own previous measurements.
  • -Fitting of custom made compression garments
  • -Education in self-care techniques; exercise, breathing techniques, skin care and self massage including ( if applicable to you) instructing a partner in a simple to follow massage routine.

Cosmetic Surgery

Pre and post surgical lymph drainage therapy

Lymph drainage therapy is beneficial when applied for one or two sessions prior to surgery. These sessions prepare the body for optimal results by stimulating the lymphatic flow to remove any built up toxins and enhance overall health.

Post surgery, lymph drainage encourages fluid circulation and is beneficial in reducing any swelling caused by the trauma of the surgery. By releasing local toxins and increasing circulation, tissues heal quicker and the recovery time is shorter. Lymph drainage has also been shown to improve the scarring process.
