Lymphatic Drainage
Please note that this appointment type is exclusively reserved for medical conditions. If you are seeking whole body detoxification or general wellness lymphatic drainage, please use that Assessment type when booking. Medical Lymphatic Drainage Massage proves to be a pivotal component of your self-care routine, amplifying localized circulation of oxygenated blood. It serves to invigorate the lymphatic system, facilitating the swift removal of unwanted cellular debris and excess fluid. This acceleration in the healing process ensures a quicker recovery for you and/or maintenance of certain medical condition(s). Whether for specific medical conditions or after injury or surgery, managing swelling, bruising, and discomfort is crucial for effective healing. This is where our expertise in harnessing the lymphatic system's anatomy and physiology comes into play. The Inflammation Phase, occurring within 24-72 hours post-injury or surgery, signals heightened activity in the lymphatics to repair and soothe the affected area. Yvonne’s provides a initial 60 minute comprehensive session which includes: 15-Minute Comprehensive Assessment: Our expert Combined Decongestive Therapist (CDT) conducts a detailed assessment, prioritizing your individual needs and concerns. 15-Minute Education and Self-Care Guidance: Benefit from personalized insights as your CDT provides tailored education specific to your condition. This includes a customized at-home exercise plan, self-care strategies, and an explanation of the manifold benefits of Lymphatic Drainage. Additionally, you'll receive guidance on what to anticipate during and after each treatment. Discussions regarding potential recommendations for compression garments may also take place. During this initial session, your CDT collaborates with you to craft a bespoke treatment plan. This plan encompasses recommendations for treatment frequency and duration, all tailored to your unique condition. 30-Minute Treatment: Following the assessment and educational segment, you'll indulge in a 30-minute Lymphatic Drainage treatment. The session commences and concludes with neck lymphatic drainage techniques, with a primary focus on your identified areas of concern. In general, this treatment avoids the use of lotions, although a small amount may be applied for enhanced skin resistance, if necessary.
