Certification in Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Advanced MLD - Management of Post Plastic Surgery Procedures
Also called Lymphatic Massage. 65+ hours of training in the Vodder technique for Manual Lymphatic Drainage. This gentle manual therapy is notable for reducing inflammation and bruising following accidents, injuries or surgical procedures. It is very useful for chronic conditions such as migraines, fibromyalgia, and digestive issues. I have experience working with patients who have chronic swelling (lymphedema) following surgeries or from auto immune issues.
Extensive experience in working with the head, jaw, and neck muscles to reduce grinding or popping (with or without pain) in the temporomandibular joint. I perform intraoral and external massage to reduce tension in all muscles that affect the jaw. This work is also useful after dental or orthodontic procedures.
Additional training and extensive experience working with the pelvic girdle, SI joint imbalance, hip and glute pain. Conditions treated include sciatica, piriformis syndrome, pain in the tailbone, glute pain from falls, postpartum pelvic girdle pain, etc.
