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.. Anon ...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.

Many thanks.
MLD secondary Lymphoedema Anon | Exeter ...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!

...The bad news was that 12 weeks after surgery one of my legs started swelling up and became hot and red and uncomfortable. I was referred round the system to be checked out for DVT etc but no-one seemed to know what to do with me. It took the best part of 3 months to get a referral to the NHS lymphoedema clinic to get compression garments fitted. I was so grateful to find Susie on the internet and that she was able to fit me in much sooner. The combination of manual lymph drainage and Hivamat treatment and heaps of advice and reassurance really helped get me back on my feet. She was great in teaching a friend how to do the MLD and I managed to find a (rare)portable Hivamat on eBay so now I’m well set up and about to head off on a 100 mile pilgrimage in Spain. Still adjusting to this being a lifetime thing now, but so grateful to have been able to get the treatment I needed at the right time.
Anon | Exeter ...I really enjoy my treatments and know they give me real benefit. I feel very lucky to have found her.

...which includes walking, cycling and kayaking. Thankfully I have managed to achieve this with regular MLD treatment combined with wearing compression which helps to keep my limbs healthy and in good shape.
Susie takes time to explain how the lymphatic system works which really helps my understanding and management of lymphoedema and has helped me feel confident I have the condition under control. In my experience Susie brings a very positive approach to the treatment of her patients inspiring and encouraging them in their recovery and every day lives. Anon | Exton I was introduced to Manual Lymphatic Drainage ("MLD") about 15 years ago by a highly regarded Naturopath that I was going to at the time. She said that, as a therapy, she couldn't recommend MLD highly enough to people like me with oedema issues.
In those early days I had a good few treatments. After that, MLD became something that I would return to whenever I felt the need. As I have moved home during those 15 years, Susie is the third MLD therapist that I have been to. I have been seeing her since 2014. It has always been a delight to receive a treatment from Susie. In recent years she has taken her training in MLD to levels far beyond that of the therapists that I have known in the past. She has a real passion for her work - it might even be described as her calling in life. That enthusiasm and love for what she does makes a real difference to the quality of the treatment that she gives. From my perspective, she's taken a good therapy and made it great! After suffering a bad fall earlier this year, when my ankle was slow to heal and the integrity of the tissue appeared severely compromised, Susie was able to help where nothing else had worked. She used her Hivamat Oscillation machine on my ankle to dramatic effect and the subsequent healing was remarkable. My only reservation about giving this testimonial is a selfish concern - that, if she becomes too busy, I may find it harder to get an appointment’ Anon | Budleigh Salterton My surgeon was so impressed with the results he would like to refer other patients to you.25/1/2016
