...with Susie’s help I feel in control of my lymphoedema both physically and mentally.

17/12/2020

 
My lymphoedema appeared after my prostate removal but strangely seemed a bigger issue when I understood by that it is incurable. Although the NHS specialist nurses were excellent, I felt I needed more information and management guidance than they were able to provide. However, having had a recommendation I met Susie.

Since doing so she has helped me understand the issues better and to better manage them in between visits for MLD massage sessions. As a result, I have continued with my life, including playing hockey, safe in the knowledge that with Susie’s help I feel in control of my lymphoedema both physically and mentally.

As promised I thought I would drop you a brief note. M has had a restful night and says his back is far easier. His back has never faired so well as it has after you have worked your magic on it. In light of his ongoing medical condition - not I might add back related - his gait greatly improves and his response to treatment is clearly evident.

Susie explained how MLD worked and the likely cause of swelling. The combination of Hivamat and MLD helped soften areas of fibrosis and reduce the swelling. I found it to be a gentle soothing treatment and very effective...

Susie was recommended to me by my Podiatrist to help treat swelling in my lower leg, foot and ankle that was not resolving.

I had previously been advised there was ‘nothing else that could be done other than to wear compression socks’.

I got results from the Hivamat treatment very quickly, with pain reducing, being able to sleep at night and am now off all pain meds. I am delighted with the results...

...​I have been visiting Susie for a month now receiving two Hivamat treatments a week for severe  frozen shoulder which I had been suffering with for eight months.

Susie is an amazing therapist, warm, friendly and professional. I would recommend her to anyone.

A huge thank you from us both for the wonderful reflexology treatment yesterday. We both felt better and lighter in mind afterwards, and also had the best night sleep that we have had for weeks...

Your delightful environment with the view just added to a brilliant afternoon.

I have been having regular Lymphatic Drainage Massage from Susie for a couple of years now after the Thermogram scan practitioner suggested it could help me as I worked to clear benign breast cysts...

13/10/2020

 
...I recently had my annual Thermogram scan which identifies areas of heat within the body showing inflammation from different causes, among them lymphatic congestion. Lisa, who does the scans, told me she could see how beneficial the regular MLDM has been by the scan images, and how good my lymphatic system now looks. Susie has been using the scan images as part of her assessment of my lymphatic system, and it has been so helpful for me to be able to see on the images how the regular treatments I have from her have helped me. The difference in the scan colours clearly shows the changes made since my original scan, and I can also feel the positive changes in how my body feels. I am clear that Susie’s skill has been an important part of my being able to clear the cysts. I can thoroughly recommend Susie as a practitioner. She is highly skilled, knowledgeable, professional, and an empathetic, intuitive person. I am so grateful for her expertise, and also the practical changes she has suggested I make to improve lymph flow, circulation & skin health which have all been very beneficial. Thank you Susie, so much!

Susie is professional, competent, knowledgeable and very caring. Results after treatment are always good, my arm feels softer and less heavy. I also feel better all over which is the result of the lymphatic Drainage. It seems to give me more energy...

...​I have been seeing Susie every month for two years. I have MLD and Hivamat treatment for Lymphoedema in my arm following breast cancer surgery ten years ago.

​The Hivamat is a very soothing and soft treatment and really helps the scar tissue as well as the MLD clearing the lymph nodes in unaffected areas. Without this treatment the volume in my arm increases and becomes heavy. I would highly recommend the treatment Susie can offer.

Susie is always caring and conscientious. She creates a relaxing atmosphere, and listens attentively at the beginning of each session to ensure the treatment is targeted at my most problematic areas...

...Then I relax, knowing I’m in safe hands, while Susie does her job. I always feel much better afterwards. Susie has given me a lot of useful advice about compression stockings, to help my varicose veins. Thank you, Susie, for all your help.

My legs seemed lighter and more supple but biggest improvement was my knees which are usually so tight and at present also seem more supple so ALL GOOD!!!

I am still learning the techniques [for MLD massage] but Susie is a good and patient teacher and I feel I am already helping control the swelling myself and Susie has noticed a positive difference when I go back each week for another treatment session.

31/10/2019

 
I have head and neck Lymphoedema after having surgery for a saliva gland tumour.  I am a new patient of Susie’s and have had about five treatments with her so far.

As well as giving MLD massage treatment to me directly to help control the swelling, Susie is training me to learn how to do the MLD massage myself. This is a big benefit as it empowers me to help control the swelling on a daily basis and gives me a psychological boost that I am doing something to help myself.

I am still learning the techniques [for MLD massage] but Susie is a good and patient teacher and I feel I am already helping control the swelling myself and Susie has noticed a positive difference when I go back each week for another treatment session.

I am looking forward to learning more and continuing to improve my MLD techniques as there is quite a lot to learn..

You are amazing at explaining the ins and outs of treatment. What you say is really clear and easy to understand and we can all see the difference when the lymph-massage is complete...

29/10/2019

 
...swelling is visibly less and the patient has commented on how different it feels when she walks, and she does walk well post ( MLD )massage and has commented previously on how her knees are less painful post treatment. Thanks so much.

I cannot speak highly enough of Susie. She has given me hope where before I had none in terms of my recovery...

24/10/2019

 
...I have been seeing Susie for some time now. I am impressed with her knowledge and professionalism. It’s early days yet but I have already noticed an improvement, which I can see, whereas after treatment on the the NHS for acute cellulitis a year later had left me feeling desperate for any sign of improvement.

Thank you for your treatment today with a view to draining the Lymphoedema fluid which has accumulated in my right leg. There has already been a remarkable improvement in less than 24 hours.

22/10/2019

 
As before, when you treated me last year I very much appreciate not only the successful reduction of excess fluid but also your highly professional sympathetic and helpful advice and support which I found very reassuring. Many thanks.

Slept ALL night, yes ALL night, no wake ups. Felt great next day, tried on trousers that hadn’t fit at all a few days before - and the trousers were loose...

16/10/2019

 
...Felt lighter and freer and haven’t used any lidocaine patches for a week except one area on my left arm. After my second treatment that pesky lump on my arm has been pain free... fantastic!
