At Wake Medical Massage, LLC, we provide specialized Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) support for individuals living with lymphedema in Cary, NC and the greater Triangle area.
Whether swelling developed after cancer treatment, surgery, lymph node removal, radiation, or from primary lymphedema, you will receive compassionate, clinically informed care in a quiet, professional setting.
Advanced Training & Certification
I am a North Carolina Board Certified & Licensed Medical Massage & Bodywork practitioner and am formally trained and certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (CMLDT – Vodder Technique).
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a primary component of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) and utilizes gentle, precise, rhythmic techniques designed to support lymphatic movement and tissue health.
This advanced training allows me to provide structured, methodical lymphatic support tailored to individuals experiencing chronic swelling and lymphatic congestion.
What Is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is a condition involving persistent swelling due to reduced lymphatic transport capacity. It may affect:
- Arms
- Legs
- Abdomen
- Chest or breast
- Neck or face
It can occur after treatment for breast cancer, gynecologic cancers, melanoma, prostate cancer, or other surgical procedures involving lymph nodes.
While lymphedema is considered a chronic condition, appropriate management strategies may help support comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
