Within each of us flows a nearly invisible network of vessels, valves, and nodes that clear away waste, shield us from illness, and recycles the waters within, a vital current sustaining our health. This is the lymphatic system.

Your lymphatic system may be congested or slowed if you experience any of the following conditions, signs, or symptoms:

• Hormone imbalances, including cortisol, PMS, perimenopause, and menopause

• Inflamed tonsils

• Itchy skin/eczema, rashes

• Kidney disease

• Lymphedema

• Muscle stiffness/joint pain/arthritis

• Obesity

• Pain while exercising

• Puffiness in face and neck

• Scar tissue

• Sinus congestion and infections

• Sore throats

• Stress

• Swelling of joints; swelling of legs or arms on an airplane

• Upper respiratory issues

Lymphatic massage can support your overall health and wellness by promoting optimal fluid balance, enhancing immune function, and aiding the body’s natural detoxification processes. At Roots Acupuncture, Mackenzie provides lymphatic massage using the Vodder Technique.

The Vodder Technique for manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, evidence-based style of massage designed to help your body move fluid, reduce swelling, and support healing. Light, rhythmic movements stretching the skin and following the natural pathways of your lymphatic system encourage improved lymph flow without deep pressure or discomfort. This method can be especially supportive after surgery, for lymphedema, inflammation, or when you’re simply feeling out of balance. As a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT) trained in the Vodder Technique, Mackenzie provides this service with clinical precision and compassionate attention to meet your unique needs.

PLEASE NOTE

At this time, services do not include treating clients recovering from cosmetic or plastic surgery procedures, including Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs), liposuction, or tummy tucks. However, Mackenzie is happy to support individuals recovering from orthopedic surgeries such as joint replacements and ligament repairs with a physician's clearance.
