Lymphatic Cupping and Massage after a cesarean section

Lymphatic Cupping and 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage 

after a Cesarean Section

by Kathleen Lisson, CLT

Nicole F. had a beautiful son six months ago via c-section at 41 weeks. She had previously had several abdominal surgeries for fibroids and to remove her appendix. During her pregnancy I helped her with her swollen feet, and though her c-section scar healed well, she was still feeling bloated. 

The day after her first session of manual lymphatic drainage and lymphatic cupping, she told me:

“My stomach feels so different. It’s less constricted but feels tightened up and less “flabby”. There is less of a pooch over my c-section scar.”

Lymphatic Massage San Diego Testimonial Tuesday

I love getting testimonials from my clients, and Judy wanted to share so much with you she filled in the entire first side and had to turn the page over to the back!

“A week after my facelift, I got a hematoma and had significant swelling and stiffness -
very uncomfortable - while the surgeon said it would resolve - the day to day unpleasant /
uncomfortableness caused me to seek relief.

After the first massage - I had better range of motion and physically and mentally felt like I’d
reached a turning point. The following week I saw good improvements, where previously it
seemed like my body was just going to stay swollen and puffy for a long time.

I finally started to feel like myself again.

The massage was relaxing, for sure, but unlike sports massage that I’d had. I was skeptical about the drainage when I left, but that night my body definitely was processing fluid as I was up every few hours to pee. So, skepticism unfounded - and relief realized.”

Judy from San Diego, after a facelift in San Diego in 2018

by Kathleen Lisson, CMT, CLT

I am so happy to share this week's testimonial with you! Cameron in San Diego came to me to reduce her swelling after a recent facelift and I was also able to help her with her lymphedema. Here is her testimonial:

"Kathleen is amazing.  I came to her after my lower face/neck lift for lymphatic drainage massage.  My swelling and bruising was SIGNIFICANTLY reduced.  My healing time was cut in half.
I also had been ignoring my lymphedema in my right arm that I had due to my double mastectomy 5 years ago.  I didn't want to deal with it.  She put together a personalized plan for me and I feel like a new woman.
She is kind, caring, professional and very experienced.  She has changed my life.
I highly recommend Kathleen.  She is an angel with a magic touch!!!!"

Traveling to San Diego with Lymphedema - Testimonial Tuesday

MLD for Lymphedema while on vacation in San Diego

by Kathleen Lisson, CMT, CLT

I met Jessi on the last day of her vacation in San Diego. She has lymphedema and loved biking, walking and enjoying the sights in San Diego, and that meant her leg was more swollen than usual. This is her testimonial:

I booked my appointment for MLD with Kathleen while visiting San Diego. I have lymphedema in my thigh and after airplane travel, extra walking in the heat, and some vacation food indulgences my thigh was swollen and heavy. ​ 

When Kathleen showed up at my hotel on time with her massage table and friendly smile, I immediately felt comfortable with her. She asked all the questions that showed me she knew her stuff, and listened carefully to my answers. 

The MLD was excellent and some of the best I've had. The results were a leg that felt light, relieved, and back to its normal size. ​ It can be nerve racking and difficult to find the right CLT and I am so grateful that I was able to find her on my vacation. What a gift! 

I would whole heartedly recommend anyone who lives in or is visiting San Diego to book an appointment with her. When I am back in San Diego, I will definitely see her again. ​

How to reduce swelling after orthopedic surgery in San Diego - Testimonial Tuesday

Reducing Swelling in knee and leg 

after orthopedic operation in San Diego

by Kathleen Lisson, CMT, CLT

Marissa found me several MONTHS after her accident and resulting operations. She was still suffering from swelling in her knee and thigh. This is her testimonial:

I was fortunate enough to have been treated at home with a lymphatic massage last week. I wish I would have known about what this was in the early stages of my recovery. The purpose of lymphatic massage is to stimulate the lymph and interstitial fluid to flow where it’s supposed to go normally. The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the cardiac system. Thus, it relies on muscle movement and contraction, pressure changes, and physical stimulation like massage. 

This specific type of massage decreases swelling after surgery, improves your immune system, flushes out toxins, and helps with pain. It’s very gentle and relaxing, AND it was done in the comfort of my living room! I had never heard of this type of massage before, and if you know anyone recovering after surgery, I highly recommend trying this out.
