Lymphatic therapy

Cancer treatment and surgery can sometimes cause swelling, fluid accumulation, and changes in the lymphatic flow. At Verita life, we provide Lymphatic Therapy as a supportive treatment that has been designed to encourage lymphatic drainage and encourage healthy fluid movement.

The lymphatic system is made up of a network of vessels, tissues, and organs involved in moving lymph around the body. When your lymphatic flow becomes congested or blocked, the fluid can accumulate in your tissues and cause swelling and discomfort.

At Verita Life, our Lymphatic Therapy focuses on encouraging the movement of lymphatic fluid throughout your entire body with specialised drainage techniques. Our approach focuses on working with deeper lymphatic channels, rather than traditional superficial massage.

Lymphatic Therapy may be considered for patients who are experiencing lymphedema or fluid build up usually caused by conventional cancer care, surgery, and other conditions. At Verita Life, the majority of our Lymphatic Therapy patients are people who have experienced lymphatic congestion following lymph node removal, chemotherapy, radiation, trauma, or post-operative complications.

Some of the most common symptoms associated with lymphedema can include:

• Swelling of the arms and legs
• A heavy or tight feeling in the arms, legs, or around the lymph nodes.
• Restricted movement
• Recurring infections
• Changes or hardening of the skin

Lymphatic Treatment from Verita Life involves specialised massage and drainage techniques that are designed around the areas where the patient requires the most support. Your medical professional will know about your individual needs and medical condition before they determine the best approach for your sessions
