Take a look at the conditions that benefit from lymphatic drainage massage 

At Restoring Independence Home Health Occupational Therapy Consulting in Great Falls, MT, we provide our massage therapy services to a wide range of clients. While lymphatic drainage massages are often utilized after surgery or radiation, several other conditions could benefit from this service. Just a few of these conditions include: 

Lymphedema

We also use manual lymphatic drainage techniques to reduce swelling and prevent the re-accumulation of lymphedematous fluid. We’ll use high-pressure short-stretch bandages to counteract the swelling and provide much-needed relief. Contact us now to learn more about our edema and lymphedema therapy methods. 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, primarily to reduce swelling and improve lymphatic flow. During an MLD session, we'll use gentle, rhythmic strokes on the skin in specific directions that follow the structure of the lymphatic system. These movements encourage the lymph fluid to drain through proper channels and reduce blockages. 

 

MLD is gentle and noninvasive, making it suitable for patients with sensitive or compromised lymphatic systems. Your sessions will be tailored to your individual needs and health goals to achieve optimal results. Contact us now to schedule a session.

When it comes to purchasing a compression bandage, there are two main types: short-stretch and long-stretch bandages. For edema or lymphedema patients, we recommend short-stretch bandages. These wraps provide firm and consistent compression to the affected limb or area, which helps reduce swelling and restore mobility. 

 

By applying uniform pressure, short-stretch bandages can help shape and contour your affected limb. Short-stretch bandages are also designed to be comfortable when worn, as they conform closely to the body and do not exert excessive pressure during movement or rest. Reach out to us today to learn more about the wraps we use.
