Lymphatic Massage Brisbane

Lymphodema can be a major issue for those who have had breasts removed through surgery for breast cancer especially if the lymph nodes have been removed also. Likewise, those who have had a limb amputated will also suffer the swelling associated with Lymphodema as well as some of our elderly community.

Our massage therapists who have expertise in this area has had years of experience in this area and can also teach you self massage techniques if appropriate for your condition. Specialised lymphatic massage for Lymphodema requires gentle stroking type massage called effleurage. This specialised massage helps to push the fluid from underneath the skin and direct it toward the lymph nodes where the fluid is then returned back to circulation.

Patients with Lymphodema will notice a swelling usually starting in the most distal joint such as the hand or the foot.

It’s important to note that a lymphatic massage isn’t suitable for every client, so please get in touch with us for a chat to make sure this is the right option for you.
