Hi In His Hands,

You definiely want a massage therapist that is experienced with lymphatic tissue massge to perform it. I have had a couple done at various spas. Call first and ask if the therapist is expereinced in it. Most PT's will not know hoe to do it. I also know there is a website (I will try to find it) that lists some lymphatic massage therapists that have trained with a certain style.

I have also recently been going to my chiro that has some new FDA approved lymphatic tissue machine that has been working pretty well for me. I will try to find out the name. I know there is a home version but it is pricey.

And yesterday I asked my pain doc what else I could do for swelling since I am experiencing swelling arouns my TOS surgery site and she recommended something called arnica montana 30C. I posted a thread asking aboout it on the vitamins forum but no one has posted any experiences they might have had. I picked it up at Whole Foods.

I hope that helps and you get some relief.
