AREAS OF FOCUS
Ralitsa Ivanova

Sports therapy and specialist MLD.

Ralitsa trained as a sports therapist at the National Sports Academy in Sofia, Bulgaria (2014). She added Vodder MLD certification in 2016 and post-cosmetic-surgery MLD certification in 2019 — two separate certifications she is one of the few in West London to hold both.

Her caseload splits roughly: 40% MLD (post-surgical + lymphoedema), 35% sports massage and soft-tissue, 25% running-specific rehab (she is a competitive runner herself).

Ralitsa sees MLD patients primarily at Wandsworth where the quieter setting suits the slower, more meditative pace of lymphatic work. She covers Earls Court for sports cases.

AREAS OF FOCUS

Three case specialisms.

Most patients book with Ralitsa for one of these three areas. They also treat general musculoskeletal cases.
SPECIALISM

Post-cosmetic MLD

BBL, lipo, abdominoplasty post-surgical drainage. Usually 5-10 sessions starting 1-2 weeks post-op.
SPECIALISM

Oncology lymphoedema

Breast-cancer-related arm lymphoedema. Vodder MLD methodology. Long-term maintenance care.
SPECIALISM

Running rehab

Plantar fasciitis, achilles, ITB issues. Both treatment and graded return-to-running plans.

Word of mouth.

★★★★★
"Had BBL 10 days before MLD with Ralitsa. The difference between session 1 and session 5 was remarkable. Skilled, methodical, properly trained."
EM · POST-BBL
★★★★★
"Arm lymphoedema after breast-cancer surgery. Ralitsa is one of very few in London who does this properly."
JR · LYMPHOEDEMA
