Whether your breast surgery was elective or you are a breast cancer survivor, you may have these therapies .You may come for these therapies long after the surgery to experience benefits.
The lymph therapy needs to be gentle as the tiniest of lymphatic vessels are as small as a strand of hair. The scar therapy usually removes restrictions and softens the scar tissue with surprising pain relief. The relief usually lasts years. How soon relief is experienced may be almost immediately or typically within a week.
It is necessary to not only treat the lymph system, but also to address the scar tissue. Scars may be a hidden cause of long-term pain and restriction. This specific scar therapy at Calm Relief may help the area to heal faster. Scar therapy can be received when the incision has sealed and no stitches remain. (2-3 months post op or after the port is removed)

Q & A
Q: Can lymph drainage therapy cleanse a lump or congested lymph? Yes. Do regular self breast exams/ A lump, spongy, or rope like area that is very new lymph drainage therapy can help
Q: When do I see a doctor? If it feels hard or like a tumor, cyst or suspicious get tested.
Q: How often should I get regular lymph care maintenance? Every three months or more often if you are concerned with fibrocystic breast tissue or have a family history of breast cancer.
Q: Should I avoid anything? Antiperspirant, tight bras, underwire bras (if possible). Aluminum salts in antiperspirants dry the needed detoxifying moisture, leaving congested debris to clog and create cysts. If you have fibrocystic breast tissue, avoid caffeine, possibly white potato.
