For post-surgical recovery, expect 8 to 15 sessions spread over 4 to 6 weeks. Maintenance for lipedema or chronic swelling is often 1 session every 2 weeks. A single one-off session gives a short-term feeling of lightness but rarely fixes the root cause. Your therapist should outline a plan after 3 visits.
Drink 500 ml of water in the hour before the appointment. Skip alcohol and heavy meals 2 hours prior. After the session, keep drinking water, walk slowly for 10 to 15 minutes, and avoid tight clothes for 4 hours. Some clients feel mild fatigue or extra trips to the bathroom.
Swelling and post-surgery cases often need 8 to 12 sessions, twice a week at the start, then weekly. Mild fluid retention may improve in 3 to 5 sessions. Maintenance for chronic conditions is usually 1 session every 2 to 4 weeks. Your therapist should reassess every 4 visits.
Therapists need a flat surface about 2 meters long, a quiet room, and access to a sink. Allow 10 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of cleanup either side of the actual session. Pets should be secured. Keep a written log of limb measurements and symptoms to share at every visit for accurate tracking.
Prices rise when the therapist holds advanced certifications, when treatment requires two limbs, or when sessions run 90 minutes instead of 60. Evening or weekend slots cost 15 to 25 percent more. Compression garment fitting adds 20 to 40 if included. Always request a written quote before the first visit.
Therapists trained in the Vodder, Földi, or Casley-Smith method follow mapped pathways. Each session starts near the neck or groin to clear the main ducts first, then works outward. Sessions last 45 to 90 minutes depending on the area. Clients lie on a treatment table and remain clothed in soft fabric.
Tell the therapist if you have active cancer, thrombosis, heart failure, kidney problems, thyroid issues, or an untreated infection. These conditions change the technique or rule it out completely. Pregnancy is not a contraindication, but the therapist must adjust the protocol and the pressure used.
The pressure is lighter than a regular massage. It should feel like a slow stretch of the skin, around 10 to 30 mmHg of force. If the therapist presses hard enough to bend your muscles, the technique is wrong. Speak up if you feel pain or deep tissue work.
Most people feel lighter and notice 1 to 2 cm less swelling in the treated limb for 24 to 48 hours. Mild fatigue or increased urination is normal as fluid shifts. Measure the same spot on the limb at the same time of day to track real progress rather than guessing. Redness means call your therapist.
Ask where the therapist trained, how many hours of hands-on practice they completed, and if they hold a current license in massage or physiotherapy. Request a copy of their insurance certificate. Confirm they know your specific condition, whether it is post-liposuction, lipedema, or primary lymphedema.
