Good things come to those who wait...
Do you suffer with tight, heavy legs/arms? Do your legs swell if you’re standing up too long or flying? Are you suffering from swelling post-cancer surgery or radiotherapy? Are you feeling swollen or bruised after orthopaedic or cosmetic surgery? With Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy, Nicola helps people to manage swelling in their body. This can be caused by an impairment or overload of the lymphatic system, known as lymphoedema. Lymphoedema can be a genetic malfunction or a result of changes taking place during a person’s life, causing secondary lymphedema. The most common of these are post surgery or radiotherapy for cancer, or trauma to the body. Measuring for compression is also available. Nicola also works with people pre and post orthopaedic or cosmetic surgery to reduce swelling and speed healing.
MLD is both preventative and remedial and can enhance your well being. Furthermore, MLD:
– Is part of the management of lymphoedema
– Can be used to speed healing after surgery
– Promotes healing of wounds, burns and scars
– Relieves fluid congestion in limbs, torso and face
– Promotes healing of fractures, tears and sprains
– Lessens pain
After been recommended seeing someone regarding my Lymphedema, as the doctors could not help! I contacted Nicola and arranged a consultation and subsequent sessions to reduce the swelling in my legs. Nicola sourced and arranged for my straps via prescription and with regular massages my legs are almost back to normal.
I would recommend visiting Nicola if you suffer from Lymphedema as the treatment and service is first class.
Amazing service! I booked with Nicola after having cosmetic surgery. She is very professional and is very knowledgeable in many areas of post op care and lymphatic drain massage. She regularly attends conferences keeping up to date with the latest practices. I always leave my appointments feeling more confident with my new body (and very relaxed!). I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my massages. Thank you so much
I cannot recommend Nicola highly enough. I had quite a major operation (abdominal surgery) and my surgeon suggested MLD (manual lymphatic drainage) to help my recovery. I am SO glad I found Nicola. I started MLD with her during the 2nd week after the op and I have seen her twice a week since then (I’m on week 6 now). I get significant physical relief each time I see her and it really helps the swelling I have on my torso/sides/thighs. I feel much looser and less uncomfortable after each session. And it isn’t just swelling – we’ve been working on an area where my skin has puckered and it’s made SUCH a difference. It’s also just a real relief to have someone so experienced track my progress and recovery regularly – having someone to ask questions to about what is normal, how my healing is looking, and to ask questions about anything that’s niggling me. It helps that Nicola is absolutely lovely! I feel really supported by her during my recovery and am going to continue to see her for at least the next month or so to ensure I am fully recovered in the best way.
