Injury recovery

Injuries can be complicated. Seemingly minor ones unexpectedly impact your comfort and movement, while more serious injuries are life-altering now and in the long term. The pace of healing is directly affected by swelling and inflammation.

Early on, MLD therapy boosts lymph flow to speed tissue repair, lower acute edema and soothe pain. As time passes, therapy focuses on scar reduction, and clearing residual fibrosis, adhesions and swelling which often stalls rehab and recovery.

When you catch yourself rubbing an old ache or favouring an ankle or knee that puffs up once and awhile, that's suspended healing  waiting to be addressed. For some, when damage is permanent, chronic swelling (lymphedema) may develop and can be effectively managed.

Lymphatic massage promotes healing after any type of injury, including:

• Soft tissue – sprains and strains, tendonitis, bursitis, repetitive stress
• Fractures – including those with surgical intervention
• Concussion 
• Sports-related
• Slips and falls
• Trauma – car accidents, crush injuries
