This treatment is used to help with post surgery recovery - reducing swelling and detoxifying the body.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage (or Manual Lymph Drainage) is a gentle massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system and fluid balance in the body.
This technique, developed in the 1930s by Danish therapist Dr. Emil Vodder, involves rhythmic, light strokes to encourage the natural drainage of lymph.

Lymphatic massages can benefit people who have a buildup of lymphatic fluid. This may occur due to
cancer and cancer treatments that involve the removal of lymph nodes
filariasis, which is an infestation of the lymph nodes by a parasite carried by mosquitoes
some types of vascular surgery, such as vein stripping
burn scar excision
lipectomy, a type of surgery to remove fat from the body
infection or trauma in the lymphatic system
a buildup of fluid due to deep vein thrombosis
health conditions that affect blood flow to the extremities
-
We offer this treatment because numerous people who get surgical procedures outside of the Port Macquarie and Wauchope region have to then travel to seek post care treatment.
We wanted to offer this treatment so locals could receive effective post care without having to do additional travel.
