Life After Cancer Should Not Be Just About Surviving.
It Should Also Be About Living Well.
When cancer treatment ends, many patients hope life will quickly return to normal. But for some, a new and unexpected challenge begins — swelling, heaviness, tightness, discomfort, or lymphedema after surgery or lymph node removal.
Hope Lymphatic Therapy was founded to support patients in this next part of recovery. Through gentle, specialised manual lymphatic drainage and lymphedema management support, we help patients care for their bodies with patience, understanding, and clinical sensitivity.
Understanding the Lymphatic System
Before we understand lymphedema, it helps to first understand the lymphatic system.
Our body is constantly working to maintain balance. When we feel hot, the body sweats to release heat. When we feel cold, the body shivers to generate warmth. In the same way, different systems in the body work quietly every day to keep us stable, protected, and well.
The lymphatic system is one of these important systems. It helps the body move excess fluid, clear waste products, support immune defence, and maintain healthy fluid balance. When this system is disrupted — such as after cancer treatment, lymph node removal, surgery, radiation, or trauma — fluid may build up in the tissues and lead to swelling known as lymphedema.
At Hope Lymphatic Therapy, we believe patient education matters. When patients understand what is happening in their body, they can feel less fearful, more informed, and better supported in their recovery journey.
Why Hope Lymphatic Therapy
Specialised, Gentle & Clinically Informed
Lymphatic therapy may be helpful for individuals experiencing swelling, heaviness, tightness, or discomfort following surgery, cancer treatment, or lymphatic system changes.
At Hope Lymphatic Therapy, we support patients who may be dealing with:
Lymphedema after breast cancer surgery or lymph node removal
Post-operative swelling after plastic or reconstructive surgery
Fluid retention, tissue tightness, and recovery discomfort
Long-term lymphatic maintenance needs
Recovery support after procedures such as liposuction, tummy tuck, facelift, or breast surgery
Every patient’s condition is different. Your first consultation helps us understand your history, surgery timeline, symptoms, and suitability for therapy.
Dr Vodder-Certified Care
Manual lymphatic drainage requires specific training, technique, and clinical sensitivity. Our care is guided by Dr Vodder principles, known internationally for gentle, specialised lymphatic drainage therapy.

Educated, Private, Personalised recovery
Each session is adapted to your condition, comfort level, medical background, and recovery needs. The goal is to support your body carefully, not forcefully & through proper aftercare education.

What Happens During Your First Visit?
Your first session begins with a private consultation to understand your medical history, surgery timeline, current symptoms, and recovery goals.
Depending on your condition, we may discuss:
Where swelling or tightness is present
When your surgery or treatment took place
Whether you have medical clearance or specific doctor instructions
Whether lymphatic therapy is suitable at this stage
A recommended session plan based on your needs
If your condition requires medical review first, we may recommend that you consult your doctor before proceeding.
Hope Lymphatic Therapy is founded by Yve Sia, OT, BAppSc OT, a Dr Vodder-certified practitioner with prior private practice experience supporting patients through lymphedema management, post-surgery swelling, breast cancer aftercare, and recovery after plastic or reconstructive procedures.
Her work is shaped by both clinical training and a deep understanding of how vulnerable the recovery journey can feel. For many patients, swelling is not merely a physical concern — it can affect movement, sleep, confidence, clothing, daily function, and emotional well-being.
With full Dr Vodder certification in lymphedema management and a heart for patient-centred care, Yve provides gentle, specialised manual lymphatic drainage that respects each person’s medical history, recovery stage, and comfort level.
Experienced Care, Rooted in Compassion
FAQs
Is this the same as normal massage?No. Manual lymphatic drainage uses gentle, specific techniques to support lymphatic flow. It is not deep tissue massage, sports massage, or spa massage.
Can I do this immediately after surgery?It depends on your procedure, recovery stage, and doctor’s instructions. Some patients may need clearance before starting therapy.
How many sessions will I need?This depends on your condition, swelling pattern, recovery stage, and treatment goals. Some patients come for short-term post-surgery support, while others require longer-term maintenance.
Need Guidance on Your Recovery?
If you are unsure whether lymphatic therapy is suitable for your condition, start with a private consultation. We will help you understand your options carefully and professionally.
