I was 3 weeks post op from a fractured ankle repair, having a lot of edema in my foot/ankle despite my keeping it elevated and taking anti-inflammatory supplements. Barbi did a great job, mindful of my incisions, to help move the lymph along
Roberta F., Manual Lymph Drainage (Post Surgery), MassageBook
It was a wonderful experience having a 90 minute massage, Barbi is so intuitive, she knows exactly what the body needs to get you feeling better and pain free. Thank you so much and see you soon.
