Joliet - NLC is a medical office and presents with a more medical vibe.
Downers Grove - NLC is a comfortable and cozy, downtown DG feel.
Hinsdale - NLC has a higher degree of service and luxurious surroundings.
Before your visit, please fill out your health intake form with date of surgery, Surgeon's name, medications and such. If you prefer a Patient Advocate in the room to help you feel comfortable, then please request and we will provide. If you are visiting for general wellness, then great! -Just fill out the form to the best of your situation.
All therapists are focused on helping you to achieve a better wellness. All therapists at all locations are licensed and certified, caring, and well skilled.
Patients vocalize in person and in our over 900 5-star reviews that they experience instant relief, noticeably less swollen, softer tissue, and less pain during the visit. Many say that they are thirsty afterwards, can feel the fluid moving which gives them the chills. Some say they feel sleepy.
Expect a healing crisis if there is toxicity. Sometimes we feel worse before better.
The 70 min session is Massage therapy style, modest and comfortable. Most patients are able o be prone on massage table for the therapist to tart at the collarbone, neck, arms. legs, then over supine to collar bone, arms, abdomen, legs, all with a VMLD appropriate light to medium pressure, pending your medical condition or general wellness.
If you are unable to lay prone because of a facelift, keyhole top, gynecomastia, breast augmentation, abdominoplasty, tummy tuck, cesarean, abdominal surgery, mastectomy or other, then a robe/drape/sheet for modesty will be given and you will sit or stand for th first initial part of th therapy to wonderfully relieve low back swelling and hardness, then with modesty remove drape and relax under sheet & blanket to receive the VMLD massage. We do not open incisions, syringe seroma, nor remove drains. Ever.
Afterwards, expect to feel relieved, better, and probably sleepy.
The body will need rest to process the lymphatic load that was just drained.
Also, your body will need YOU to continue the fluid water current or you might experience discomfort.
SO start practicing opening the Terminus, Skin Sweeping, Belly Breathing. Avoid processed foods, sugars, alcohol.
Best of health,

What is VMLD?
The Vogel Method for Lymphatic situations
With over 34 years of manual therapy through IL state licensure,
we have the caring nature and industry experience to help.
_____________________________________________
Our background of LMT-CLT-LANA-RF, Biomedical Undergraduate and Graduate studies, BCTMB National Board Certification, as well as CLT Certified Lymph Therapists have created a unique blended three-step protocol, The VMLD Vogel Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage Method:
STEP 1
The Vogel Method of Spiraling Myofascial Release (VMFR) to unwind, unlock, release, clear, and balance post-surgical scar tissue, fibrotic fascia restrictions, tightness, and more.
STEP 2
Vogel Method Manual and/or Machine Lymphatic Drainage (VMLD), a unique method to alleviate fibrosis, blockage, and drain swelling. A Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) is Licensed and Certified through their scope of practice to perform this step. Manual and/or Machine Lymphatic Drainage is essential otherwise, cellulitis may occur. Without drainage, the fluid released during Myofascial Release will essentially be "pushed toward a closed doorway" and accumulate within the body, which causes swelling.
STEP 3
Vogel Method Lymphatic Medical Massage (VMT), to feel better and gain greater mobility. This step is performed by a Licensed and Certified whom is trained in Lymphatic Massage.
