Who knows in what way a breast/mastectomy massage is done?

I am writting a paper for school in body works modality and i cant find a web site where i can see pictures or have an idea to show the class. Its a paper and oral presentation. and yes I am a masssage therapy student.

you must not have done much of a search, I just typed in "mastectomy massage" into my yahoo search & up popped these 2 pages, as well as a bunch of others.

** as for MLD, that is a very specific technique as you may or may not know... my sister in law gets it done, her therapist trained in Europe to learn it...
I would guess that a lot of mastectomy patients would get lymphatic swelling, one of my patients gets it in her arm & I referred her to the same person for MLD treatment.

I would also talk about the importance of lymphatics in post mastectomy massage.

you might need to turn off the save search in your search engine

You must come to me and I will show you

i would look up things for lymphatic (helps lymph system) or myofascial massage (stretching, helps with scar tissue). good luck!
