Hi there, my name is Tanya Hamlet and I am Registered Massage Therapist and
Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist. I have been practicing within the Oakville
community since 2006. Over the course of my years of practice I have treated
people of all age ranges from as young as 8 weeks old to 90 years old. I have
successfully treated conditions such as sciatic pain, carpal tunnel, Thoracic Outlet
Syndrome, tendinitis, chronic back pain, as well as General Muscle aches/tension
that occur as a result of our day to day activities such as working at a
computer/sitting a desk.
I am a Vodder Certified therapist for Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) and
Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT). As an MLD therapist I treat people who
have Lymphedema which is a chronic condition characterized by the build up of
fluid in the body most commonly in the extremities. Treatment for this chronic
issue includes hands on Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapy as well as the use of
compression garments.
Manual Lymphatic drainage can also be helpful for relieving acute inflammation
for injuries such as sprains and muscle strains. It is also beneficial in relieving
sinus issues like those related to seasonal allergens.
In addition to providing treatment for Lymphedema I am a Certified Fitter for
compression garments as well an Authorizer for the Assistive Devices Program
(ADP).
My treatment plans for all my clients are individualized to meet their needs and
personal goals.
