About Jo:
Jo graduated in 2021 with excellence in a Diploma of Remedial Massage therapy. Her passion for massage stems from her love of running, having been a competitive runner for over 35 years, currently competing in both track and cross country events at a national level in the masters grade. Personal experience has reinforced the importance of regular massage for both rehabilitation after injuries and regular maintenance, in order to perform at the highest level.
Jo has also coached athletics for the past 9 years, becoming an accredited coach for athletics N.Z, looking after the children’s and junior section for her old club. Whilst she has a love for working with athlete’s, the benefits of receiving massage to correct muscle imbalances and relieve pain is something all people can benefit from. Along with providing remedial treatments, Jo also specialises in Manual lymphatic Drainage (including Mobiderm), providing relief from many everyday ailments.
Outside of the clinic Jo loves escaping to the countryside for camping weekends with her hubby, as well as her regular runs. Both are looking forward to exploring the delights of Nelson after relocating here this year.
LYMPHATIC MASSAGE / MOBIDERM
As part of the treatments available, I use a special compression bandage utilizing Mobiderm under the compression element. Mobiderm is a medical device made up of foam cubes encased between two non-woven bandages. This is designed to improve the flow of lymphatic fluid, along with helping break down more fibrotic or sclerotic cutaneous areas.
Whilst largely the use of this treatment is for patients suffering from Lymphoedema or Lipedema, it can be beneficial to many other conditions. These include post-surgery swelling, post mastectomy edema, sinusitis, tinnitus, muscle sprains, strains tears, chronic fatigue, endometriosis, tension headaches and migraines, Sports recovery, strengthening immune system and stress reduction. The treatment is very gentle and relaxing for patients. Normally a course of treatments is required, duration and frequency can vary between patients.
For more information, please feel free to contact the clinic.
Lymph Massage involves a stimulation of the Lymphatic system. Very light pressure is utilized to access and clear blockages in affected areas. Works really well in de-toxing the body ie pre-post surgical, reducing oedema (swelling) following trauma, and helping get rid of waste products (ie Lactic acid).
Appropriate for Post Mastectomy and Lymph system damage or removal of nodes.
Sessions are best booked at 60min+
