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
-
Exercises
-
Skin Care
-
Weight Management
Maintenance – Self Management
-
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.

“If you want to find the secret of the Universe, think in terms of Energy, Frequency and Vibration.”

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF)
“The Future in Energy Healing”
Active, regular tuning of our cells is vital to health. Cell dysfunction that is not corrected early tends to lead to disease.
Exposure to electrosmog (electrical wiring equipment) from microwaves, cell phones, WIFI connections, computers, TV’s etc; can cause blood cells to stick together which may result in a multitude of health issues.
“Degeneration and Aging starts at our Cells”
Diabetes, neurological disorders, auto-immune conditions, irregular or rapid heartbeat, blood disorders, pain and various types of cancer.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) is restorative cellular therapy whereby low-frequency intensity fields are sent in pulses from a device to a mat or pad which the patient lies on. These gentle pulses go through every cell in the body killing pathogens like harmful bacteria and viruses without harming healthy cells. The changing frequencies optimise the body’s natural self-healing and self-regulating functions to rejuvenate with stunning effects.
Therapeutic effects of PEMF include: -
-
Improved blood viscosity, adhesion and circulation
-
Reduction in pain and inflammation
-
Improve blood and tissue oxygenation, blood pressure and cholesterol levels
-
Facilitates uptake of essential nutrients
-
Accelerates repair of bone, cartilage and soft tissue
-
Balances the immune system and stimulates RNA and DNA
-
Faster wound healing, oedema reduction and alleviates neurological disorders
-
Mitigates stress on the body
PEMF Therapy promotes fusion of damage bone material whilst increasing bone density by up to 6% in months, with a massive 40% increase been recorded by NASA during their clinical evaluations of exposing bone material to very low frequency magnetic pulses. PEMF therapy has been proven to be highly effective for helping osteoporosis and osteoarthritis (research, NICE studies).
