Post-Operative Lymphatic Drainage:
A Holistic Approach to Healing

At Health Resonates, we believe in a holistic approach to wellness, including pre and post-operative care. That's why we offer specialized lymphatic drainage treatments designed to support your body's natural healing processes.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle technique using hands and tools that help to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste products and toxins from the body. By improving lymphatic flow, we can:

  • Reduce inflammation and swelling: Promote faster healing and reduce discomfort.

  • Support tissue regeneration: Create an optimal environment for tissue repair and growth.

  • Minimize scarring: Reduce the risk of scarring by improving blood flow and nutrient delivery.

  • Enhance immune function: Boost your body's natural defenses to support healing.

  • Promote relaxation: Induce a parasympathetic state, which is essential for optimal healing.

What is the Dr. Vodder MLD method?

Dr. Emil and Estrid Vodder's method of manual lymphatic drainage is the original, most effective, and meticulous approach to this healing modality. Developed over many years of research and practice, Dr. Vodder's method focuses on gentle, precise movements to stimulate the lymphatic system without performing massage techniques, in order to balance fluid levels and promote optimal flow throughout the body.

What to expect:

Using a light, rhythmic, skin-only lymphatic drainage technique, the Dr. Vodder MLD method is ideal for post-operative care. This healing modality works at a cellular level to accelerate recovery time by reducing swelling, inflammation, and fluid retention, while promoting regenerative tissue repair, minimizing the possibility of scarring and providing natural pain management. Additionally, it helps cleanse and restore your lymphatic system, optimize your immune function, and ease you into a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state, essential for deep healing and overall body harmony.

Additional Considerations:

  • Individual Needs: The number of sessions may vary depending on the patient's individual needs and the extent of the surgical procedure. Once you complete your series we can always add on an additional package as needed.

  • Pre-Operative Treatment: We recommend schedule a 30 or 60 minute lymphatic drainage session pre-operatively to prepare the tissues for surgery. Bookable as a one time service using this link.

Post-operative lymphatic drainage is a valuable tool for supporting your body's healing process. By incorporating lymphatic drainage into your recovery plan, you can experience faster healing, reduced discomfort, and improved overall outcomes.
