How Our Therapies Benefit You

​

1. Reduce Swelling and Pain

• Vodder School Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): After surgery, fluid accumulation around incisions can cause swelling and discomfort. Our gentle MLD techniques help move this excess fluid away from surgical sites, reducing inflammation and easing pain. You'll experience a more comfortable recovery with less swelling and pressure.

2. Accelerate Recovery and Minimize Bruising

• Improved Circulation: MLD stimulates your body's circulation, enhancing the transport of nutrients and healing cells. Combined with our red and yellow light therapy, which further boosts circulation and cell repair, you'll heal faster and see your results sooner.

3. Prevent Scar Tissue Formation (Fibrosis)

• Enhanced Tissue Healing: By promoting proper lymphatic flow, we help prevent fibrosis (hardening of tissue) that can result from fluid buildup. Our therapies aid in keeping tissues soft and flexible, giving your skin a smoother, more natural appearance.

4. Support Immune Function and Reduce Risk of Infection

• Boosted Immunity: Lymphatic drainage enhances your immune response by moving immune cells to where they're needed most, lowering the risk of post-surgical infections. Our certified techniques adhere to strict sanitation and safety standards, ensuring a safer recovery process.

5. Enhance Skin Texture and Final Results

• Improved Skin Elasticity: With the combination of lymphatic drainage and light therapy, your skin benefits from better tone, elasticity, and texture. The therapies encourage collagen production, making your surgical results appear more natural and refined.

​

Light Therapy: Red and Yellow Light for Enhanced Healing

 

Red and Yellow Light Therapy: We complement manual lymphatic drainage with red and yellow light therapy to further aid tissue recovery. Red light therapy penetrates deeply to stimulate cell regeneration and reduce inflammation, while yellow light therapy soothes the skin and promotes healing at the cellular level. These non-invasive, safe therapies provide an extra boost to your body's natural healing processes.

Why Choosing a Licensed, Certified Post Surgical Lymphatic Therapist Matters to You

 

Selecting the right therapist for your post-surgical care is crucial for a safe and effective recovery. Here's how working with a licensed, certified therapist like Ellen benefits you:

1. Expertise and Advanced Training

• Highly Qualified Care: Ellen's extensive training—over 400 hours from reputable institutions like the Vodder School and the Chikly Institute—means you're receiving care from a therapist with deep knowledge and specialized skills in advanced lymphatic techniques tailored for post-surgical clients.

2. Personalized Guidance Through Your Healing Process

• Support Every Step of the Way: Ellen acts as a knowledgeable guide throughout your recovery, helping you understand what to expect at each stage. She can identify potential concerns—such as signs of infection or unusual swelling—and advise when to consult your physician. You'll also receive valuable home-care tips to support healing between sessions.

3. Reduced Risk of Complications

• Safe, Effective Techniques: Certified therapists understand the specific requirements of post-surgical care and adhere to rigorous sanitation protocols. This reduces the risk of infection and complications that can arise from improper techniques used by inadequately trained practitioners.

4. Comfortable and Gentle Treatment

• Appropriate Pressure and Technique: Unlike some untrained therapists who may apply excessive pressure, causing pain and prolonging recovery, Ellen uses precise, gentle techniques tailored to your needs. Lymphatic drainage therapy should never be painful; with Ellen, you'll experience a more comfortable and soothing recovery process.

5. Adherence to Legal and Ethical Standards

• Professional Integrity: Ellen respects all legal and ethical guidelines, ensuring your safety and compliance with state regulations. For example, in the United States, it's illegal for massage therapists to perform incisional drainage—a procedure outside the scope of massage therapy. Ellen uses only safe, non-invasive lymphatic techniques.

6. Accountability and Ongoing Professional Development

• High Standards of Care: As a licensed therapist, Ellen is committed to ongoing education and adherence to professional standards, providing you with the highest quality care. This accountability offers peace of mind that you're in trustworthy and capable hands.

Important Considerations for Your Recovery

​

• Avoid Untrained Practitioners: Receiving lymphatic drainage from inadequately trained therapists can lead to increased swelling, bruising, and even legal issues. Always verify your therapist's qualifications.

• Therapy Should Be Comfortable: Lymphatic drainage therapy should not be painful. If you've experienced discomfort or pain during previous sessions, it may be a sign of improper technique.

• Ask the Right Questions: When selecting a therapist, inquire about their training and certifications. Reputable therapists will have extensive, hands-on training from recognized institutions.  Read the following Blogs to help you navigate this process:
