I had swelling after surgery and heard the lymphatic massage would help but kind of brushed it off as voodoo. I definitely could tell a difference from the time I stepped off the table and highly recommend.

Luda was very caring, kind and thorough. I so appreciate her concern for my comfort during my lymphatic massage. I had results with my ankle swelling within 24 hours! Thank you, Luda, for using your gifts and expertise to serve others! 🤗💖

Wow! Incredible service. The staff is incredibly friendly, you always feel welcome. I have had multiple services post surgery. Luda has vanished all of the swelling and I feel more like myself. (Very Talented!) Sharon provided the facial service that was the most relaxing.. it woke my face up! Good bye puffiness! :) I had to schedule another facial session before the wedding! Thank you NPL for taking such great care of me during my post surgery recovery! ❤️

Sharon is an excellent lymphatic drainage professional! Three years ago I walked into her business with a swollen wrist and arm due to breast cancer treatments. I was very scared of lymphedema and knew that I wanted to get ahead of it and stop it’s progression, if at all possible. I committed to seeing Sharon weekly at first. She applied the Vogel Method to my body and relieved the swelling that was occurring. Through the weeks and months she helped my body get back into order and created health in my lymphatic system. Sharon is knowledgeable, kind, and a master at her craft! I’ve been to many lymphatic practitioners and she is hands down the very best!

Had the RF drainage. Made a real different first visit. First time in weeks my knee stopped aching completely. Better parking than Morton location. Professional and caring staff. Drink plenty of water.

This is the best lymphatic drainage I have ever experienced. Her training is extensive and you can tell the difference if you have had it elsewhere. If you are tired of trying other things that don't help, come here.

I'm so happy I came across National Lympahtic! Sharon made sure I was at ease and she really took her time to explain everything to me. My post op liposuction was not painful at all. Before coming I could not stand up straight now I can stand up straight and I'm already noticing the difference in the swelling going down. So happy with their service. I'm looking forward to seeing the ending results from their care.

Frequently asked questions

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage, and what are its benefits?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to promote detoxification, reduce swelling, and support recovery, particularly after surgery, oncology treatments, or in cases of Lymphedema and Lipedema. It enhances overall wellness by stimulating lymph flow and reducing fluid retention.

Who is a suitable candidate for MLD therapy?

MLD is ideal for those recovering from cosmetic surgery, experiencing Lymphedema, Lipedema, or other swelling-related conditions, and those seeking detoxification and general wellness support. Always consult with a therapist, and if you have conditions like AFIB, asthma, or blood clots, a doctor’s approval is recommended.

How often should I receive MLD sessions for optimal results?

For best results, weekly sessions are typically recommended, especially for post-surgical recovery or managing chronic conditions like Lymphedema. Your therapist can create a personalized plan based on your specific needs and health goals.

Are package series available for MLD sessions, and can I use HSA for payment?

Yes, package series are available, providing multiple session options for ongoing care. HSA payments are accepted, and payment discounts may be offered for certain methods such as cash, check, or Zelle.

What should I expect during my initial consultation?

The initial consultation is a 10-minute phone session with our Clinic Director to discuss your health history, symptoms, and goals. You’ll also receive guidance on the best treatment options for your needs. Please complete the intake form beforehand for a more thorough assessment.
