Pricing that reflects the doctoral-level clinical expertise, advanced national certifications, and genuinely individualized care behind every session.
LCW is a private clinical practice led by a Doctor of Occupational Therapy with advanced certifications in lymphedema, post-surgical recovery, and manual therapy. Every session is built on clinical expertise and tailored to you — not a one-size-fits-all protocol applied the same way to everyone.
You could book a massage anywhere. You could find lymphatic massage at a spa. But if you're dealing with lymphedema, lipedema, post-surgical swelling, chronic pain, or simply want care that goes deeper than a standard session — you deserve more than a general treatment.
At LCW, every service is delivered by Dr. Shanie Dasrath — a Doctor of Occupational Therapy (OTD), Registered and Licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L), and one of the few practitioners in Iowa holding advanced certifications in lymphedema therapy (CLT-LANA), post-surgical recovery (CPST), advanced lymphedema management (ALM), kinesiotaping (CKTP), and therapeutic massage (LMT).
That means every session is guided by a deep understanding of your body, your condition, and your goals. Your massage is not spa massage. Your lymphatic drainage is not "lymphatic massage". Your post-op care is not guesswork. It is precise, evidence-based, hands-on therapy delivered by a doctoral-level clinician who has invested years of advanced training specifically so you get better, faster, and more lasting results.
No two sessions are exactly alike because no two patients are exactly alike. This is what medically-informed, whole-body care looks like. This is the LCW difference.
