Annakaisa Hinkkanen: LymphaTouch as a tool for the women's health physiotherapist

Annakaisa Hinkkanen is a women's health and pelvic floor physiotherapist who has made LymphaTouch part of her C-section scar treatments for postpartum clients. She practises at the Terveystalo clinic in Jyväskylä, Finland. Together with her colleague Tuuli Luhtalampi, she also shares experiences and information on maternity physiotherapy and rehabilitation through the Palaudu synnytyksestä (Recovery from Childbirth) online community.

“Clients have been hugely enthusiastic about LymphaTouch, and I was keen to try it myself. Clients keep telling me that scar treatment with LymphaTouch is clearly more comfortable than manual treatment, and many notice immediate effects on the same day, such as a feeling of warmth and less tightness. Personally, I find the device easy to use. The stepless adjustment and the different cups make it easy to use with different clients.

From now on, I will definitely use the device for scar treatment with all my clients who have given birth by C-section, and to release tension in the back for my clients with diastasis recti (abdominal separation).”

Client feedback after Annakaisa's LymphaTouch treatments

“The scar area has felt surprisingly light, and I haven't noticed it at all. So yesterday's treatment seems to have done something for the metabolism there, and the warmth in the groin and pubic area lasted well into the evening. The scar may also look slightly lighter today, though of course that could just be a coincidence.”

“My observations after the C-section scar treatment: yesterday evening I felt a slight tingling and could tell the area had been treated. I was very aware of my lower abdomen, and the scar stayed reddish until the evening.

This morning the scar feels a little sensitive to touch. It isn't sore or uncomfortable, but you can tell it has been treated and something has been done. I also tried positions where I've noticed the scar pulling before. The difference is very noticeable, because the same tight, stretching feeling isn't there, for example when lying on my stomach. It was a pleasant experience!”
