Nothing quite like getting a new pair of well-fitting compression stockings!

I love these thigh-high, open toe, 20-30mmhg stockings from Sigvaris. They are great for mild swelling, surgery recovery and circulation issues.

Do you need guidance choosing the best style, size and strength of compression for you? I can help!

Did you know that visible swelling is a sign that the lymphatic system is over-whelmed with fluid?

The fluid in the tissues can increase by 100x before the swelling will be visible to the naked eye!

The lymphatic system works in tandem with the circulatory system to maintain balanced fluid levels in the body

If excess fluid develops in the tissues, the lymphatic system will work in other-drive to remove the fluid

If the lymphatic system cannot do so, visible swelling will be present

Swelling slows the body’s ability to repair tissue damage, deliver immune cells and remove cellular debris

Chronic welling can lead to damage of the blood and lymph vessels - increasing your risk of chronic swelling and inadequate blood circulation

Compression, elevation, manual lymph drainage and decongestive exercise are great ways to manage swelling and support your lymphatic system

Note - always work with your healthcare provider to address the cause of your swelling before seeking treatment

Proper positioning is key for insuring client safety, protecting incisions and preserving fat transferred sites during post-surgical bodywork. Each session will be adapted using various pillow configurations based on the procedures received and stage of healing.
