FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHICH TREATMENT SHOULD I BOOK?

CAN I CLAIM THROUGH PRIVATE HEALTH?
Most treatments are eligible for private health rebates.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE AND LYMPHATIC FLOW & FASCIA RELEASE?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised Vodder-style treatment designed to support compromised or impaired lymphatic function, including lymphoedema, chronic swelling and post-surgical oedema.
Lymphatic Flow & Fascia Release combines lymphatic techniques, fascial release and therapeutic bodywork to support fluid movement, reduce restriction, improve mobility and address areas of tension and discomfort throughout the body.

It is commonly used to release facial tension, support facial mobility and enhance natural facial contouring.

This depends on the treatment being performed.
Your comfort and privacy are always prioritised, and clear guidance will be provided before treatment begins. Appropriate draping is used throughout your session.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY APPOINTMENT?
Comfortable clothing is recommended. Depending on the treatment, you may be asked to undress to your level of comfort. Disposable garments may be provided where appropriate.
