WELLNESS
MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage, which focuses on lymphatic system in order to promote the natural flow of lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic system removes toxins from healthy cells and carries germ-fighting materials to cells when they are under attack by viruses, providing protection for our body.
Manual lymphatic drainage is particularly important for patients with sports injuries or who have post surgery oedema (liquid retention). Manual lymphatic drainage, while the patient is healing, can help to enhance the tissue regeneration process by keeping the tissues as healthy as possible. It also helps scars to heal by enhancing circulation and immunity.
Pregnant women also often suffer from poor circulation in their legs and feet and legs. The manual lymph drainage is a very efficient tool to reduce the oedema and the heavy legs sensation.
NIPPLE TRAUMA THERAPY
POST OPERATIVE CONSULTATION
Breastfeeding problems are frequently experienced by new mums. Breast and nipple pain, nipple trauma and mastitis are some of the main reasons mothers give up breastfeeding prematurely.
Laser therapy can be particularly effective in accelerating healing of damaged nipples and easing pain, we can help you to make breastfeeding comfortable as it should be.
The laser improves tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and reduces pain. Treatments last just a few minutes and are entirely painless with no side effects.
Following surgery, the operated area may be extremely painful and swollen. Damaged tissues will recuperate themselves over time but will be enhanced by physiotherapy treatments. A training program will be developed by us taking into account the condition of the patient and of the operated area.
We do not only rehabilitate, but also educate on daily-life activities, the cause of the injury and any preventative measures that can be taken to avoid future injury.
