therapies
manual lymphatic drainage
(MLD)
The Dr Vodder technique of MLD is a specialised form of massage, which is very gentle, non-invasive, relaxing and soothing.
MLD can be of benefit to people with lymphoedema, lipoedema, generalised oedema following an acute injury or trauma and those recovering from surgery (eg. cosmetic or orthopaedic)
deep oscillation therapy
(DOT)
DOT is an internationally patented, evidence based and technology proven form of therapy which can be used in conjunction with MLD and / or massage techniques.
It creates an electrostatic field in the tissues of the body which is gentle and has a deep-acting effect. As it is a non-invasive, gentle and therapeutic modality, it can be used immediately Day 1 post op or with chronic conditions.
reflexology lymphatic drainage
(RLD)
RLD is like Reflexology; however, focuses on working the lymphatic system in order to stimulate and cause a positive effect on its function.
RLD is also a form of massage which people with lymphoedema, lipoedema and cancer can safely receive.
