"I have been able to decrease my pain medicine by 90% since receiving massages on a regular basis from Nala." "Of the 20 massages that Nala has given me, no two have been exactly the same.

We feel blessed to have found her." "She is very attentive to my needs and works very specifically on my problem areas. When I leave her I always go out feeling much better than when I went in!

Very experienced and competent in a warm, professional setting. She had a sound knowledge of the anatomy."
“Nala is amazing. Great communication and professionalism. Her expertise in lymph drainage is exactly what I was looking for. After several major surgeries I was desperately looking for a lymphatic massage therapist and I found Nala on google and immediately booked a 120 minute session. My 2 hour session was incredible! Nala moved so much fluid out of my body during the session and I’m still releasing fluids at home. I signed up for weekly 2 hour sessions because Nala is the BEST! Thank you Nala!” Stephanie J.
“I highly recommend Miss Nala for her expertise and truly feeling hands. I have had many massages internationally but rank her among the highest qualified and actually the Best. I have enjoyed Miss Nala’s helpful and relaxing massages over several years.” Hannelore P.
Truly a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Nala is super friendly & knowledgeable. She gave me a lot of insight and advice on how to treat my swellings and even referred me to a reputable lymphatic compression supply company for my new wraps. She's the best there is out there and the only therapist that's certified in lymphatic drainage massage!!”

“Nala’s place was very welcoming, peaceful and comfortable. She was very knowledgeable with the lymphatic massage, she took her time and worked on all the concerned areas. I left feeling less stiff, and I could feel the blood circulating through my body. I was sore a few hours later, and through the rest of the evening, as I expected. But, I slept very well, and woke feeling great! Thanks Nala!”

Rebecca M.
“I started going to Nala a year ago for lymphatic massage post-surgery. I was so impressed with her skills and professionalism that those eventually turned into deep tissue massages after I healed. Her massage table is the most comfy one I've ever been on, and the atmosphere is calming and relaxing.I almost don't want to post this review because I don't want her to be too busy (so she has more open slots for me). Haha!I have bought quite a few of the "buy 4, get the 5th free packages". Nala never disappoints and I will continue to schedule with her until one of us moves away. Nala, you're not allowed to ever move away! I would have to follow you.”
Laura S.
“I love Nala and what she has been able to do help me heal after explant with lymphatic massages. She is very knowledgeable and her studio is beautiful, clean and peaceful. I hate it when it coming to the end of the session because I don't want it to end!”

Lymphatic Massage After Knee Surgery
Client Testimonials
Here’s what my clients are saying:
How Can Lymphatic Massage Help After Knee Surgery?
Having healthy knees is critical to being able to function normally in daily life. You are likely looking at your knee and wondering if it will look and feel normal again. There’s a good chance you have a good sized bruise and it is stiff from the post-operative swelling. The good news is that it’s normal. The great news is that you can speed up your healing time significantly.
When the body is injured (through surgery, a fall, or a minor cut) specialized cells rush to the area to help stabilize, or splint, the tissue. Initially this is a very good thing because it helps to protect us from further damage like further tearing open a wound or using a finger where a tendon has been torn. The removal of these stabilizing cells happens when circulation around the injured area is good and movement is happening. When this is the case, the body can move them away and recycle them. After knee surgery, due to limited mobility and range of motion, getting rid of these stabilizing cells becomes difficult and the tissue can begin to harden. When this happens, it can lead to increased pain, decreased mobility, and more tightness.
If you are suffering from pain and swelling following knee surgery, regular sessions may help get you back on the road to recovery and healing.
When Should I Plan To Get Lymphatic Massage After Knee Surgery?
Lymphatic massage after knee surgery helps reduce swelling by moving the accumulated fluid from the swollen area. Additionally, the wastes caused by the breakdown of damaged tissues are moved away from the surgical area. Further benefit includes the lymphatic flow being jump-started at the surgical site, which facilitates the delivery of fresh nutrients to the healing tissues. It does this by creating room for the normal circulatory fluid to reach the damaged tissues. Prior to lymphatic drainage the flow of this fluid was blocked by stagnant fluid seen as swelling.
You will probably be expected to be up and about within a week after surgery. As soon as you are able, get in to see a Certified Lymphedema Therapist for a lymphatic drainage treatment. You will thank yourself for putting in the effort.
Since our knees are so fundamental to basic movement, they often get injured or worn out and require surgery to restore normal function. Most people dread having knee replacements because of the recovery time involved. Swelling in a post-operative knee can last up to 6 months from the date of surgery, and this is a problem for several reasons.
