Lymph Therapy

I’ve been trying out this beautiful Lymph Love Massage Oil this week, created by the very talented Kylie Bradley from Lymph Movement Studio in Adelaide.

Not only does it smell declicious but it’s been lovely to work with during some of my abdominal and fascial treatments. It’s almost as lovely as Kylie herself! 💚

While the Dr Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage method doesn’t use oil, there are certainly times when fascial work, scar therapy, abdominal treatments and Brazilian Lymphatic Massage techniques can play an important role in helping patients achieve their goals.

One of the things I love most about working in this field is that there are so many ways to support healing and recovery. We all have our views on which method is “best”, but for me it’s not really about that.

The real skill lies in being able to use strong clinical reasoning to identify which tools in your arsenal will produce the best patient outcome, and when to use them.

Every patient is different. Every body is different. The art is knowing when to use Manual Lymphatic Drainage, when to use taping, when to introduce movement, and when another approach may be more beneficial.

Learning from talented practitioners like Kylie and continuing to explore new ways to support my patients is one of the things I enjoy most about this profession.

After all, the goal isn’t to be loyal to a particular technique—it’s to help people feel better in their bodies.

Getting some girl time (plus Matty) with the Her Trails crew in the Dandenong’s this morning. Just sets the week up for a win, no matter how slow I happen to go. Forwards is always an acceptable pace, no one gets left behind 🥰

Vodder MLD and NMT Lymphatic taping is a powerful combination post surgery. Great progress for this diastases repair and extended abdominoplasty patient who came to see me 33 days post surgery. Super happy customer!

Goodness me…….it was a bit nippy this morning! Might need to get the winter wardrobe out this week!

Great article by my colleague Jan Douglass from Moving Lymph on the potential benefits of elastic taping in the prevention of Chronic Post Operative Neuropathic Pain.

In the coming months, we'll be conducting a Case Series Study on the use of Neuromuscular Taping in Peripheral Neuropathy, so stay tuned for more information if you, or anyone you know is impacted by that!

Elastic Taping; A Non-Drug Therapy with Potential to Prevent Chronic Post-Op Neuropathic Pain. Although most surgical wounds will heal well, almost half will result in persistent post-surgical pain, with as many as 40% of post-op patients reporting symptoms consistent with neuropathic pain. Physiologically different to usual post-surgical pain which resolves naturally as tissue healing progre...

💙 How Does Lympha Press Work? 💙

Lympha Press is a pneumatic compression pump designed to gently stimulate lymph flow and reduce swelling. It works by applying sequential, wave-like pressure to the limbs, mimicking the natural movement of lymphatic drainage.

✨ How it helps:
✔️ Reduces swelling & fluid buildup
✔️ Supports lymphatic circulation
✔️ Eases discomfort & heaviness
✔️ Complements Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)

Perfect for those managing lymphoedema, lipoedema, and post-surgical swelling! We are also finding it really useful for painful conditions where the nervous system really needs dialling DOWN 💙 Have you tried it? Let us know! ⬇️
