Avoided knee replacement surgery

"I was a week away from getting knee surgery when I discovered LM Therapeutics. Their approach completely transformed my condition—I avoided surgery entirely and regained full mobility.

Today, I can walk 10-20 miles on fishing trips without issues, and I've returned to all the activities I love including wakeboarding.

I've sent at least 20 friends dealing with similar issues because the results have been so life-changing."

Your Body's Hidden Healing System

Think of your lymphatic system as your body's internal cleansing river—with one crucial difference from your circulatory system: it doesn't have a pump like your heart. Instead, it relies on muscle movement and proper function to flow effectively.

When lymphatic pathways become congested—which happens after surgery, injury, or even periods of inactivity—numerous issues develop:

Many of our clients come to us after hearing phrases like:
💢

Visible swelling and inflammation

🤧

Compromised immune function

🪫

Sluggish metabolism and energy

😣

Persistent discomfort and pain

🤢

Digestive issues and bloating

Delayed healing and recovery

Manual lymphatic drainage restores proper flow, encouraging your body's natural cleansing processes to function optimally again—often creating improvements where other approaches have failed.

Our practitioners combine specialized training with years of hands-on experience to help you overcome pain, inflammation, and mobility challenges that conventional approaches haven't resolved.

"I don't know what I would do without LM Therapeutics, they literally make my life a better quality of living."

Your MLD Experience: What to Expect

01 — Before Your Session

Your first appointment begins with a thorough consultation to understand your specific concerns, health history, and goals. We'll discuss your symptoms, previous treatments you've tried, and what you're hoping to achieve.

For maximum comfort, we recommend wearing light, loose-fitting clothing, as lymphatic drainage is often performed through clothing or with minimal draping.

02 — Customized Treatment

Manual lymphatic drainage uses exceptionally light, rhythmic pressure—often described as the weight of a nickel or "butterfly wings" touch. If you're accustomed to deeper massage, you might initially wonder if such gentle touch can be effective. This specific pressure is precisely what stimulates lymphatic vessels most effectively without causing additional inflammation.

Your treatment follows the natural pathways of lymphatic flow, typically beginning at the neck or trunk before moving to extremities. Your practitioner uses specific hand movements to create wave-like motions that encourage lymph fluid to move toward filtering nodes.

Most clients find the experience deeply relaxing, often reporting a sense of "lightness" even during the session. The treatment is exceptionally gentle, making it appropriate even for those who cannot tolerate deeper pressure or have acute conditions.

"Her hands were light as feathers that helped with the extreme pain. I was on post op and she was informing of what was performed and what needed to be done.

She showed that she knew what she was doing. I recommend her for her skills to anyone!"

Walletta M.
Received Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

03 — After Your Treatment

After lymphatic drainage, many clients notice:
  • Increased urination as fluid moves through the system
  • A sense of lightness and reduced tension
  • Improved energy levels and mental clarity
  • Visibly reduced swelling, particularly noticeable in the face
  • Enhanced digestive function
  • Clearer sinuses and easier breathing
To maximize benefits, we recommend:
  • Drinking plenty of water to help process released fluid
  • Gentle movement like walking to support continued lymph flow
  • Minimizing inflammatory foods and alcohol if possible
  • Following any additional recommendations specific to your condition

”Very friendly staff, clean environment and professional. So glad I was referred to them.”

Received Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

You've Tried Everything... 
But You're Still in Pain

While many clients experience noticeable improvement after a single session, the benefits of manual lymphatic drainage are cumulative and often require a series of treatments for maximum effectiveness.

After your initial consultation and treatment, your practitioner will recommend an appropriate treatment plan based on your specific condition and goals:

We offer package options that provide both savings and consistency for your care, with the flexibility to adjust your treatment plan as your body responds.

Our practitioners combine specialized training with years of hands-on experience to help you overcome pain, inflammation, and mobility challenges that conventional approaches haven't resolved.

Common Questions

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage and how does it work?

Think of your lymphatic system like the ductwork in your home's air conditioning system. The lymphatic vessels are like ducts, and lymph nodes function like filters. When these ducts get congested or the filters get clogged, your system doesn't work properly, leading to inflammation, pain, and health issues.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized, gentle massage technique that helps clean out these "filters" and reduce congestion so everything flows normally again. Your lymphatic system is essentially the filter of your body. When it's running properly, it supports your immune system, helps maintain your body's pH balance, and reduces inflammation throughout your body.

How is Manual Lymphatic Drainage different from regular massage?

This is one of the most important distinctions our clients need to understand. Regular massage primarily works with muscles using deeper pressure for relaxation or muscle tension relief. Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses very light, specific pressure and precise hand movements to stimulate your lymphatic system.

While regular massage might leave you feeling relaxed, lymphatic drainage creates measurable changes in your body's ability to reduce inflammation, support immune function, and eliminate toxins. The pressure is much gentler than you might expect, but the results are powerful. Many clients initially think "I barely even feel it" but then experience significant improvements in swelling, energy levels, and overall wellness.

What health conditions can Manual Lymphatic Drainage help with?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage supports your body's natural healing processes and can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions.

Primary Benefits:

  • Reduces inflammation throughout the body
  • Supports immune system function
  • Helps with autoimmune disorders
  • Addresses muscle tension and fascia issues
  • Improves metabolism and digestive issues
  • Supports nervous system function
  • Reduces arthritis and joint issues

Specific Applications:

  • Post-surgical recovery (especially cosmetic procedures)
  • Chronic inflammation conditions
  • Lymphedema management
  • Seasonal allergies and respiratory issues
  • General wellness and preventive care

What should I expect during and after my lymphatic drainage session?

During your session: The treatment uses very gentle, rhythmic movements that many clients find deeply relaxing. The pressure is much lighter than traditional massage, working specifically with your lymphatic pathways rather than deep muscle tissue. Sessions typically last 60 or 90 minutes, and your therapist can explain what they're doing and why throughout your treatment if you'd like.

Immediately after: Most clients feel lighter, less bloated, and experience a sense of overall wellbeing. You might notice reduced swelling in areas that were congested before treatment.

In the following days: Your body continues processing the benefits for 24-48 hours after treatment. You may notice:

  • Reduced inflammation and puffiness
  • Improved energy levels
  • Better sleep quality
  • Enhanced immune system function
  • Improved digestive comfort
How often do I need Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatments?

Treatment frequency depends on your specific goals and condition.

For general wellness and maintenance: Most clients benefit from monthly sessions to keep their lymphatic system functioning optimally.

For specific health concerns: We typically recommend starting with weekly sessions for 3-4 treatments to establish improvement, then transitioning to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance.

For post-surgical recovery: A more intensive schedule of twice-weekly sessions for several weeks may be recommended, followed by weekly sessions as healing progresses.

For chronic conditions: Clients with autoimmune disorders or persistent inflammation often see the best results with consistent bi-weekly sessions, with some transitioning to monthly maintenance once their condition stabilizes.

"If I don't tell Stephany something, she already knows—'hey, you've got something new going on over here.' She just knows. She's really in tune with the body.

When doctors wanted to operate on my knee, she fixed it completely. Now I can do anything I want to do physically."
