LymphaTouch sustains lymphatic therapist Päivi Peltomaa's work capacity

Päivi Peltomaa has provided lymphatic therapy and nursing services for almost 30 years through her own practice, Lymfa- ja Sairaanhoitopalvelu Päivi Peltomaa, in Punavuori in the heart of Helsinki. She is a specialist nurse and Vodder-trained lymphatic therapist, and she specialises in post-cancer care and postoperative care, for example after joint replacement or aesthetic surgery.

LymphaTouch as a business enabler

For Päivi, LymphaTouch has been especially important in maintaining her own work capacity. Years of physical work have left her with wear and pain, and LymphaTouch has been crucial in allowing her to keep working. As a sole trader, any time she spends away from client work shows up directly in her income.

“After doing lymphatic therapy for so long, I've picked up all kinds of aches and wear in my hands and back. Because of the osteoarthritis in my hands, I probably couldn't work such long days without LymphaTouch. The device lets me work with less pain and more efficiently, which helps me continue my career and keep the business profitable.”

A tireless work partner

Päivi is one of Finland's most experienced LymphaTouch users. She has used various LymphaTouch models almost for as long as they have been on the market, which is nearly 15 years. Today she uses the device very actively:

“I use LymphaTouch every day, with every client, in all kinds of treatment situations. It's particularly good for treating massive swelling, such as lymphedema and lipoedema, where working manually could exhaust my own strength. LymphaTouch never tires, and with it I reach the same results faster, sometimes even better ones.

LymphaTouch is also excellent for scar treatment. One example is recovery after a knee replacement, where the scar over the patella often becomes stuck down. I also see many breast reconstruction patients with extensive scars that pull and limit function, and with them I use LymphaTouch to treat the scar tissue. The treatment is really quick, easy and pleasant for the client. I also do fascial treatments, and the latest LymphaTouch Pro has proven well suited to them because it is more powerful than the earlier models.”
