About this treatment

The gold standard in lymphatic therapy — Dr. Vodder certified

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a highly specialised, gentle massage technique developed by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s. It uses precise, rhythmic hand movements to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging lymph fluid to flow away from congested areas toward functioning lymph nodes where it can be processed and filtered.

Lisa holds the CLT (Registered Lymphatic Therapist) designation under the Alberta Lymphatic Association, and trained directly in the Dr. Vodder method — the global benchmark for lymphatic therapy. She is the only medically registered RMT in Canmore offering this level of certified lymphatic care, making her the go-to therapist for post-surgical clients, lymphedema management, and anyone seeking medically grounded lymphatic treatment.

Conditions & uses

Who benefits from lymphatic drainage

MLD has broad clinical applications — from post-operative swelling to chronic immune challenges and everyday fluid retention.

🩹
Post-Surgical Swelling

Essential after orthopaedic, plastic, or dental surgery to reduce oedema, accelerate healing, and minimise bruising and scar tissue formation.

🌊
Lymphedema

Primary and secondary lymphedema management — a chronic condition causing persistent swelling due to a compromised lymphatic system, often after cancer treatment.

🛡️
Immune Support

Regular MLD sessions support immune function by clearing metabolic waste, reducing inflammation, and optimising lymph node activity throughout the body.

💧
Fluid Retention & Oedema

Effective for general fluid retention, pregnancy-related swelling, travel oedema, and chronic puffiness that doesn’t respond to conventional massage.

Scar Tissue & Skin Health

Improves tissue regeneration after injury or surgery, reduces the appearance of fibrotic scar tissue, and promotes healthy circulation to the skin.
