Your Health, Our Priority

 Ensure you drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Proper hydration helps the lymphatic system function more effectively. 

 Refrain from eating large meals at least two hours before your appointment. A light snack is fine and recommended. If you are coming directly from your procedure, please ensure that your blood pressure is stable before arriving and bring someone to assist you. 

 Reduce your intake of caffeine and alcohol 24 hours before and 48 hours after your session to avoid dehydration and promote optimal lymphatic function. 

 Do not apply any lotions, oils, or perfumes on the day of your appointment to ensure your skin is clean and free of any substances that may interfere with the treatment. 

 Participate in a brief consultation with your therapist to discuss your health history, current condition, and goals for the session. Bring the names of any medications you are on. If you are on medications for post op pain, have someone drive you to your appointment. 

 Follow the therapist's instructions for undressing and preparing for the treatment. You will be asked to undress to your comfort level, and cover yourself with the blanket/sheet on the table. Only the areas being worked on will be exposed if necessary for optimal results.

 Take a few deep breaths to relax your body and mind before the session begins. This helps you to be more receptive to the treatment. You should find the treatment very relaxing and soothing.

After the session, drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins and support the lymphatic system. 

 Ask any questions you may have, and pay special attention to any post-session care advice provided by your therapist. You will also want to schedule any recommended follow-up appointments to maintain the benefits of MLD.
