Lymphatic drainage or edema therapy:

Manual Lymphatic drainage is a specialized area of physiotherapy that focuses on fluid accumulation below the skin. This problem may occur following surgery, in which a part of the lymphatic vascular system needed to be removed or following chemotherapy or radiation treatment. This usually occurs when there is an increase in the amount of lymphatic fluid because the body uses this to remove many waste products.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): how does it work?
We practice manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) for the above condition. This is a form of massage therapy that focusses on pressure changes that ensure improved drainage. In addition to providing MLD, we also provide advice about how to deal with edema formation and how to prevent edema formation. Exercises are also provided to assist recovery from any restrictions that may occur due to edema formation or due to operations that have led to this problem.
