About Lymph In Motion
Meet Colleen Hurst
Colleen is an Alberta trained Registered Massage Therapist and a Certified Decongestive Therapist for lymphatic management practicing in Alberta.
What is Massage Therapy? Massage therapy is a therapeutic practice that involves hands-on manipulation of the body's soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissue. This holistic treatment aims to improve a person's physical and mental well-being by relieving tension, enhancing relaxation, and promoting overall health. Massage therapists use various techniques, such as Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, and sports massage, tailored to meet the individual needs of their clients. Whether for relaxation or addressing specific health concerns, massage therapy offers a natural approach to healing and rejuvenation.
What is a certified complete decongestive therapist? A trained therapist that will work with you to reduce your lymph congestion. Once it plateaus, a compression garment fitter will properly fit you for your compression garments. These garments can be as neutral or flamboyant as you would like! These garments allow us to support you to manage your condition. With proper maintenance you can live your best life.
When does a complete decongestive therapist get involved? From pre surgery, post surgery and beyond we can work together to meet your Lymphedema needs. What causes Lymphedema?
