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 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..
