A few months prior to surgery my Physiotherapist recommended that I seek treatment from Teresa to assist with the swelling to ensure I went into surgery in the best possible condition. Teresa used lymphatic drainage (LD) on my ankle with great success, after only a few sessions the swelling had reduced dramatically and the swelling reduction was permanent. Post surgery Teresa commenced treatment immediately and the swelling was kept to a minimum. I am happy to say that I now have full movement in my ankle and treatment is only required post long haul flights. D.J - Mornington
Lymphatic Drainage Massage (Vodder Technique)
 A treatment to activate and encourage the flow of lymph throughout the body.
The technique is based on physiological and scientific research and has proven to be an effective technique for the reduction of oedema.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage was developed in Europe in 1932 by Dr Emil and Estrid Vodder, today the Vodder technique of Lymphatic Drainage is widely practiced in clinics and hospitals world wide, this is especially the case in Europe where the Vodder School is founded in Austria.
The Lymphatic System is a network of vessels and nodes that maintain the delicate fluid balance between tissue and blood. Lymphatic drainage treatments are performed by pumping and stretching movements on the skin, this technique assists in moving the lymph forward and draining the connective tissue via the vessels.
