Disorders of the lymphatic system usually present with uncomfortable, long-term swelling, known as lymphoedema, which can be distressing. Lymphoedema happens for many reasons. Some people are born with it, when it is known as primary, but more commonly it happens because of acquired lymphatic failure from injuries and burns or as a consequence of cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgeries thar remove lymph nodes. this type is known as secondary. The final type is more prevalent in people who are older and/or overweight, due to ageing of the veins in the legs and reduced mobility, heart and kidney disease and side effects of certain, or combined, medications. This is known as venous insufficiency, or dependent oedema.
Testimonials
Please allow me to congratulate you for the treatment of my client. The result is amazing and indeed, we were able to see and treat way more veins than we had seen on the initial scan when the oedema was still there
I’ve had two MLD sessions with Clare and I feel so much better after them. My pain and swelling has decreased considerably and it has made such a difference. She’s extremely knowledgeable and professional and I can’t recommend her enough
I benefitted from the superb care I received from Clare. She used specialised drainage treatments to reduce swelling and help minimise scar tissue. Not only are her treatments fabulous, but her warm personality and caring nature and gentle approach made our sessions therapeutic both physically and mentally. Thank you
Thank you so much for your amazing care following my surgery. You are fantastic at what you do and such an amazing human being. It’s been great meeting you
I would like to raise the exceptional quality treatment and care I’ve received with Clare Anvar at Evolve Massage. The treatment I have received over the last few weeks has been life changing and put me on a completely new route to managing my condition effectively. She is also fantastic at the wider care and management.
Thank you for all your help and advice about my nan, I truly believe you saved her life
Clare’s perceptive and holistic approach to massage has been enormously helpful-not only on a physical level-but also in coming to terms with my diagnosis and treatment and maintaining my mental and spiritual health
Clare, meeting you today has given me renewed energy; I’ve just come home and for the first time in weeks I am not all stressed and anxious. I feel so much better in myself
Before I met Clare, I kind of thought well that’s me now, I have had cancer and I was so frightened of my prognosis and what the future held. Clare gave me back my ‘mojo’ and now I don’t even think about what the future holds, I just live my life to the full
Clare is an incredibly caring and sensitive person, dedicated to her work and to helping her patients. I am sure there are many, like myself, who consider Clare to be a very special person
