AG a 44 year old woman, had recently undergone a hysterectomy.  Following this she had complications involving leakage of lymphatic fluid from the scar in vast quantities called a seroma.  This unfortunately went on for four weeks having been supported by nursing care to change the dressings.  AG came to me for MLD as she felt she needed to take control of the lymph fluid which was pooling around the scar and in the abdomen, she felt unwell and had tightness in the abdomen with loss of sensation in the tummy area.

AG was treated twice a week for a period of two weeks with two follow up appointments.  I concentrated on stimulating the deep lymphatic nodes to encourage drainage in the trunk area which had oedema and the neck, including working lightly over the scar to encourage drainage from the scar which was causing an uncomfortable ridge.  AG was very committed to the homecare and performed the simple lymph drainage techniques herself at home.

The results have been pleasing, now AG with the help of MLD is able to maintain the reduction in fluid along the scar and in addition to that the general trunk oedema is improved.  AG now has stretchy skin where it was once quite tough, indicating the reduction in fluid.

AG comments:- “For me MLD me meant I was able to take control of my condition for myself with the help and support of Rebecca, I no longer felt isolated and on my own.

Rebecca has been able to improve my condition from an almost leathery looking patch on my tummy to soft smooth skin.  She has also been able to help oedema around my rib area, not something I had been aware of but after MLD the definition of that area was much improved!

I would like to thank Rebecca for her care concern and for being able to see the need for more MLD therapists can make such a difference”.

Case Study

Chronic joint pain and PMS

Cheryl 

When Cheryl came to me it was for two purposes firstly to relieve chronic she has suffered for nearly thirty years as a result of multiple road traffic accidents and PMT.  Cheryl had suffered chronic pain in the back, hips and legs for years and has tried many types of therapy from manipulation to massage.  After the first session Cheryl was impressed by not only the gentle touch but the relaxation and pain relief.  So she booked for a monthly appointment.

Cheryl has been having treatment for 4 months now and the additional benefits she has noticed the effects on her PMS, with eradication of oedema and premenstrual pain, in addition it has encouraged her to embark on a weight reduction programme and has been really successful.

Cheryl’s comments below:-

“MLD is a lovely experience, light, gentle and very relaxing.  I leave the treatment, go home and sleep for a couple of hours and then feel fantastic. Rebecca is so easy to chat to and it makes it a very comfortable experience.

My leg pain and back pain is reduced significantly and I definitely don’t retain as much water as I did.  I don’t even notice when my period is due as my PMS has completely gone now!!  No water retention and no premenstrual pain.

MLD is better than any other treatment i’ve tried from acupuncture to reiki!” 

AD a 38 year old woman came for a short course of treatment; she presented with hypothyroidism and had been gaining weight in a short space of time.  Her other symptoms included water retention, general tiredness, joint pain and feeling generally run down.

Below this client comments on her general improvement gained during the treatment, in particular her improvement in joint pain, well being and reduction in water retention.

AD commented:- “I was recently diagnosed as having hypothyroidism after feeling unwell for quite some time, approximately six months.

I am a 38 year old women with no other medical history related to the condition.

I was able to have treatments from Rebecca on 5 occasions and feel that the result was a feeling of well being and extra energy which was really quite pronounced.

I also noticed that the abdominal swelling I had experienced was remarkably reduced as was my reduction in joint pain and other symptoms for a period of time post treatment.

The abdominal swelling has not been so apparent since treatment.

 I was able to experience general feeling of well being for a time after all of the treatments which was unexpected.

I would nominate this treatment as preferable to the various treatments I have had in the past which have included acupuncture and reflexology”.

 MA, a woman in her late 30s came to see me for help with eye puffiness, she had a build up of fluid on the eye and cheekbone area.  MA had three treatments and had tried many others to try to reduce the fluid in the eye area and as you will read was really pleased with the results.  The benefits included general feeling of well being, improved skin condition, more youthful appearance and reduced puffiness.  

MA comments:-“I would just like to thank you for the difference made by having MLD.  I had my face and neck treated and the visible difference after the first treatment was quite surprising.  A reduction in puffiness and the physical feeling of relaxation amazed me for such a gentle treatment.  I have had many facial treatments for various reasons and this was the most beneficial yet”.
