Lymphedema Management & Post-Surgical Massage Therapy

We offer two different types of Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

1. Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage (BLD) Origin: Popularized in Brazil, most famously by Renata França. Approach: Firm, fast-paced, rhythmic massage strokes along lymph pathways, sometimes combined with body-contouring techniques. Focus: Visibly reduces bloating, swelling, and water retention. Promotes immediate aesthetic effects (slimmer waistline, flatter stomach). Experience: More vigorous and stimulating compared to traditional lymph drainage. Best for: Cosmetic results, post-surgery swelling (esp. cosmetic surgery), bloating, event-prep (e.g., brides, photo shoots).

2. Vodder Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Origin: Developed in the 1930s by Dr. Emil Vodder (Europe). Approach: Highly structured, gentle, circular and pumping hand movements, with specific training/certification required. Focus: Clinical/therapeutic lymph drainage — reduces lymphedema, swelling, chronic inflammation, post-surgical recovery. Often prescribed in medical settings. Experience: Gentle, repetitive, almost hypnotic touch. Best for: Medical conditions (lymphedema, post-cancer treatment swelling, trauma recovery, post-surgical healing).
