Manual Lymphatic Drainage + Compression Pump Session

If you answered YES to any of the questions above, it's time to book your appointment with Wilda! Wilda is a highly experienced lymphedema therapist with years of expertise in a clinical physical therapy setting. She has helped numerous lymphedema and cancer survivors, as well as patients recovering from facial reconstruction, cosmetic surgeries, and orthopedic procedures at her Collegeville studio. Wilda is also a Continuing Education (CE) provider, having developed, taught, and certified hundreds of licensed massage therapists in the proper techniques of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD).

What to Expect During Your Session

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, painless therapy. Many clients find it so relaxing that they drift off to sleep during the session. During your appointment, Wilda will take the time to understand your specific goals. You will begin by lying face up, and a pneumatic compression pump will be applied to your legs. While the pump helps stimulate your lymphatic system, Wilda will begin the MLD sequence. She will educate you about the lymphatic system, showing how delicate yet powerful it is in removing toxins and excess fluids from the body.

At the end of your session, Wilda will work with you to create a personalized maintenance plan to continue your recovery.

A Perfect Combination: Pneumatic Compression & Manual Lymphatic Drainage

The pneumatic compression pump features six chambers that inflate and deflate to stimulate lymphatic flow. This device, combined with MLD, enhances the effectiveness of your treatment. The pressure from MLD is light and designed to gently stretch the skin, encouraging the removal of waste and fluid from your body.
