Treatments
At Touch of Care in Zurich Wiedikon, you receive manual lymphatic drainage as a gentle, individually tailored therapy. I support you after surgery, with lipedema and lymphedema, during pregnancy, and preventively if you would like to relieve your lymphatic system in a targeted way. I work carefully and, when needed, in coordination with your doctor. My practice is located at Zelgstrasse 36 in District 3 (Kreis 3) and is easily accessible by public transport.
Lymphedema
Individually tailored care
Lipedema
Conservative support for your symptoms
Preventive Lymphatic Drainage
Preventive support for lymphatic flow, with no medical diagnosis required
Health Insurance & Reimbursement
I am an EMR and ASCA recognized therapist. Depending on your supplementary insurance, manual lymphatic drainage may be partially or fully reimbursed. Please confirm cost coverage directly with your health insurance provider before your first treatment. Some insurers also require a doctor’s prescription.
Why Regular Sessions Matter
Manual lymphatic drainage can also be helpful as occasional support. In many cases, however, regular sessions are more effective than a single treatment. This is especially true if swelling, fluid retention, heavy legs during pregnancy, lymphedema or post-operative swelling have already been present for some time.
The right treatment frequency always depends on your symptoms, your goals, your healing process and how your body responds.
