Decongestive Lymphoedema Therapy (DLT)
Decongestive Lymphoedema Therapy (DLT) is a treatment for Primary/Secondary Lymphoedema, Oedema and Lipoedema.
(DLT) Decongestive Lymphoedema Therapy Upon receiving a positive diagnosis, DLT may be recommended and there are two phases to the Therapy:
Intensive – with your therapist
-
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
-
Multi-layer bandaging
-

-

-

-
MLD is replaced by SLD (Simple Lymphatic Drainage)
-
Wearing compression garments
-
Self-bandaging/Velcro wraps
-
Daily Skin Care
-
Weight Management
Components of DLT Therapy
-
MLD - Using specific massage techniques to mobilise the skin the stimulate the lymphatic system. It facilitates lymph flow into the venous circulation utilising lymph vessels. MLD is found to be most effective when used in conjunction with compression bandaging.
-
MLLB - Multi-layer bandaging is the intensive phase of the treatment and is used to provide compression and support to the underlying tissues. Foam or soft padding under the bandages help increase fluid movement by adding pressure and reducing slippage. Different density and thickness are used dependent on the limb, whether arm or leg and on what the tissue is like, i.e.: fibrotic, soft or pitting. Bandaging is performed every day for a minimum of two weeks (excluding weekends).
-
Exercises - Are used to enhance the efficiency of the muscle pump working against the compression bandages increasing lymph circulation. You will be given individually tailored exercises suited to your particular requirement.
-
Weight Control/Maintenance - It is very important to maintain a healthy weight. These conditions can be exacerbated as fat cells compress the lymphatics further, reducing and impeding lymphatic flow. A good weight loss/nutritional plan will help before, during and after your intensive treatment.
-
Compression Garments - At the end of the intensive phase, you will be measured for custom or standard fit compression garments. During the maintenance, self-management phase you should aim to wear your garments daily. Any SLD exercises should be done whilst wearing your compression. It is recommended your garments be replaced every 4-6 months.

TESTIMONIALS
Colleen Gaffney
"I cannot recommend Justine enough. She has been absolutely wonderful with her time and positive attitude with trying to help me find a solution for my side effects from chemotherapy. I have experienced RLD lymph drainage, PEMF and activated oxygen and the results have been amazing. I feel recharged and refreshed when I finish my treatments. This lady genuinely cares about helping clients with their health and if you are looking for great results then I can highly recommend Justine at Lifeflo"
Karen Scouse
"I have also been having PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy). My energy now is amazing. The combination of activated oxygen and PEMF have given me back the ability to carry out normal everyday tasks and enjoy days out again.
Thank you so much."
I have used Menomagic cream now for the past 6 months as I was looking for a paraben and chemical free alternative to help with my hot flushes. I would definately recommend this product. It works instantly and I take it with me everywhere"
Tina Bromley
“Having suffered fluid retention from my twenties, I found myself unable to walk, wheelchair bound, depressed and in constant pain. A series of unexpected incidents put me in contact with Justine at Lifeflo. The start of regular treatment, PEMF, activated oxygen and lymphatic drainage, my legs and knees are a different shape, I am now fully mobile, have lost weight and my mental attitude completely changed. I walk down the garden, and manage weekly shopping. A goal I thought I would never achieve. I am incredulous and delighted"
