How LymphaTouch found its way into a massage therapist's toolkit

Laura Kivimäki-Vartiainen, a massage therapist with 12 years of experience, came across LymphaTouch while searching online. After testing the device, she introduced it to Helsinki Wellness Center, and the Kalasatama location added LymphaTouch treatments to its services in summer 2024.

From the first sessions, the device exceeded Laura's expectations in both effectiveness and quality. Eight months later, she feels it has had a clear positive impact on her own work and on her clients' well-being.

What LymphaTouch has brought to her work

Laura's clients range from those looking for pampering and relaxation to those with specific problems such as swelling. The benefits show up in her work every week.

1. A wider range of treatment

Laura uses LymphaTouch both for full-body treatments and for smaller areas, such as the jaw and facial muscles, as well as for scar tissue.

“I particularly like the combination of negative pressure and vibration, which opens up tight fascia really effectively. LymphaTouch has sped up the results of massage, especially in challenging areas such as tense fascia. It helps soften the tissue and reduce swelling, and it also eases the massage therapist's physical workload,” says Laura.

2. New services

With the device, Laura has been able to offer new treatments, such as facial lymphatic treatments and treatment of the jaw muscles.

“I hadn't done facial treatments before, but LymphaTouch has allowed me to expand my services. With the device, I can easily relax the facial muscles. Clients have been especially happy with the jaw muscle treatments,” Laura says.

3. Better profitability

LymphaTouch has also helped improve the profitability of her massage work. The treatments offer clients more targeted, higher-value care, which justifies a slightly higher price than a traditional massage. Many clients have also committed to long-term treatment plans by buying packages of five or ten sessions.

“LymphaTouch treatments are an excellent addition to the range of services, and the financial benefit is clear,” Laura sums up.

4. Client satisfaction and new clients

“Many clients have found us specifically through LymphaTouch treatments. They first come to try it, then come back, and often recommend it to people close to them.”

In the initial consultation, Laura often identifies issues that she can treat with the device in the same session, which adds to client satisfaction. Word of mouth and online marketing have brought new clients to the centre.

Client feedback

Client feedback has been very positive from the first sessions. According to clients, the treatments have helped with:

• Reducing swelling
• Recovery after surgery
• Relieving tension in the jaw muscles
• The well-being of the skin and face

Laura finds it especially meaningful to be able to help and ease the discomfort of clients recovering from a major operation or other medical treatment.

Easy to use, and a strong recommendation

Laura is pleased with the cooperation with LymphaTouch.

“I've always got help when I've needed it. The device is easy and ergonomic to use, and changing the cups and the clear manual made it effortless to learn.”

She warmly recommends LymphaTouch to all massage therapists and wellness professionals.

“It's an excellent addition to a massage therapist's work and offers plenty of opportunities for both clients and the business,” Laura says.
