Lymph edema massage

[+ Kman]

I have noticed a few masseurs who have a lymph edema massage under their techniques...I’m not sure how common it is for a massage therapist to receive that type of training as it is has to be very methodical and if it’s more serious you would need bandaging/compression as well. But MT’s are very knowledgeable of human anatomy so I would think they could pick it up quickly.

 

Anyway I am noticing in my line of work it is becoming more common and was curious if any massage therapists have run into it with any of their clients or if any clients here have you used a masseur to help with edema. Lymphedema treatment gets very expensive (if you are having to buy your own supplies). So I’m thinking massage might be a less expensive option at least in the early stages.
