I am being treated for post-surgical care and receiving lymphatic massages with Dr. Abdu, he is so GREAT! He pays attention to detail and the progress of your body, not the projected results. He’s timely, genuinely concerned about my progress, and has taught me great techniques to advance my results while home. I am so glad I found this place, my final results are looking bright!

I was so fortunate to have found the National Lymphatic Centers in Downers Grove. I’ve had fluid build up in my lymph nodes around my face, ear, and neck area for over a year. After going through many tests and exams with my regular physician, I eventually found out about this type of treatment. Sharon was a God send! I felt immediate relief half way through my lymphatic massage, and I’m looking forward to being and feeling healthier thanks to NLC.

I started coming to the center for post op care, never had lymphatic massage before but found it to be very relaxing. My main therapist Ive been working with is Mr.Abdu he is very nice and gives a very relaxing, euphoric massage. I love feeling the fluid move around and the results after. Looking for to body contouring soon. Thanks for the great service will recommend highly!

Wonderful experience from the minute one walks in through the beautifully landscaped entry to leaving feeling well-cared for and refreshed. Thank you for the attention to details.

I HIGHLY recommend National Lymphatic Centers in Downers Grove!I received my first lymphatic massage from Sharon and she was absolutely AMAZING! She is so sweet, kind and sincere and took my appointment last minute.I purchased a package that consisted of a lymphatic massage from each therapist there and each one was amazing. My last lymphatic massage of the initial package was with Dr. Abdu who I immediately connected with and will continue to book with him until my abdominoplasty recovery is completed. He is so kind, genuine, passionate and blessed with the ability to elevate all my pain, discomfort and swelling while putting my mind at ease. All my stress and swelling is eliminated after each session. He goes above and beyond at each session and has educated me so much in each phase of this process. He never rushes and has sacrificed time during his break to extend my session when the swelling and discomfort was really bad. I am 4 weeks post op and my plastic surgeon literally could not believe my results and the way my body is healing. Dr. Abdu has played such an important role in my recovery and I cant thank him and The National Lymphatic Centers in Downers Grove enough. I have already referred my friends that are having upcoming surgeries to Dr. Abdu and I feel so blessed to have met him during this process. He truly is a healer of the mind, body and spirit!

Sharon is amazing. I had a lot of swelling and fluid build up when I layed on the table. I am two weeks post surgery. Sharon made my tissue feel soft again, my swelling went down tremendously which made the discomfort level go down. If you have fluid build up or swelling this is the place to go!!!! I could see a big difference when I later looked in the mirror!

Been coming here for a month I believe for 2x a week. So amazing and relaxing. I’m doing the package where it gives you a thousand dollars off. For the amount of money I’m paying I expected to see results and I definitely do. There was a week I missed due to poor planning on my part and omggggg I felt it and saw it. But as soon as I went back she shrunk me again lol. I love this place the staff is wonderful and I’ve never not felt welcomed. 10/10 would recommend!! Especially for post op.

I can’t say enough good things about National Lymphatic Centers. They worked a miracle on me. When I walked through their doors I was in pain and debilitated, but they helped me fix all that and also taught me how to help myself. I walked out thinking that it didn’t matter how much it cost because the help they gave me in improving my health and mobility was invaluable and priceless to me.Let’s face it, having a chronic illness isn’t cheap. If money is an issue as it is for me, I would suggest these possible money saving tips: See Sharon, the founder and director, for your acute phase and see one of the other therapists for ongoing lymphedema massage as I did. All the therapists I’ve seen have been truly wonderful (and super kind) but Sharon, I know firsthand, has a miraculous ability to help tame adhesions and cording/webbing. Or consider going to their free class on the second Saturday of each month where they teach you how to do your own manual lymph drainage (they also teach you in your 1:1 sessions). Holding these free classes is their way of giving back. And definitely try getting your doctor to give you a prescription for lymphedema massage with an ICD-10 code. Your private insurance might reimburse you for some of the costs.All their professionals keep up to date on the latest lymphedema and prevention techniques so I know I’m in good hands. This is a high priority for the center and therapists get paid time off for continuing education.Just an overall impressive and helpful place!

Dr Abdul is the massage GOAT 🐐He has magical skills and godly hands I love his sessions he takes much pride in what he does. I’ve already recommended him to 3 other people n I’ve only had 2 sessions. I’m so eager to go back!!! Before the massage I walked in curved like the letter “ r” and by the end of my first session I stood tall as a tree. I really wish I could take his hands home with me

National is amazing! Sharon & her staff are super knowledgeable. I highly recommend 👌

Sharon, Abdul, and Maribel are amazing! I experience a lot of general swelling from food allergies that makes me feel heavier, bloated, and lethargic. I always leave feeling lighter and with more energy that same day. I even look more alive later in the day after receiving a treatment. They are very knowledgeable and treat you like family. Love this place!No we are not related despite the last name, lol.

Coming to the National Lymphatic Center was one of the best decisions that I have ever made. I had a surgery more than a year ago and I noticed that my body was still puffy and swallowing , I was not sure why. I thought it was my fault and I felt terrible. I decided to come to the National Lymphatic Center because I heard that the lymphatic massages work on the body tissue and that help release fat and toxins. I was skeptical to tell you the truth, but in my first visit I changed my mind. First of all Sharon, was on my first visit and she took the time to explain and demonstrate literally how it works, I was amazed by how professional and caring she was with me.She personally Taylor my treatment, and it was something that I loved. My great surprise did not stop there, when I had my next treatment, my therapist Jennifer Made me felt so pampered and relaxed and the best of all is that the results keep showing. In my last session, my therapist was Maribel, she was amazing too, she performed an excellent job too. Everyone offered professionalism and the best of all is that the results are incredible visible. I love this National Lymphatic center. It’s a unique place that I recommend more than 100% I don’t mean to write a book as a review, but what I already shared with you is not enough to describe my wonderful experience.

Sharon clearly shows she only cares about your money because when trying to checkout, she only cares if I pay and not my well being. She kept forcing me to leave her a good review on Google; even if she treated me rudely. Her voice sounded impudent.

I have been seeing Sharon for lymphatic massage for many years and she is amazing! My migraines and overall body pain have improved dramatically. When I leave, I look like I have lost 10 pounds due to reduced fluid retention. Sharon is genuine, knowledgeable, caring., and provides a clean, calming environment for treatments.

Sharon did a superb massage, her hands are blessed. I am Very happy to have chose this place for my lymphatic drainage massage.Thank you so much!

Very clean and safe. Convenient location. Sharon is very welcoming and professional. She helped me understand the lymphatic system and instructed me on what I could do on my own. I’m very glad I made this appointment!

I have been seeing Abdul since January, best decision I have ever made. I am %80 healed wouldnt been able to get through it without Abdul. Thank you for your God sent hand 🙏Anuka

I cant tell you how grateful I am for the work you have done on my body. For the first time in a very very long time my lower back and hips are lining with everything else and I am feeling the freedom of the strength once again in my body, mind and soul. Wow!! you are AMAZING and the work that Sharon does is SOOO Healing! Sharon is SUCH a Gift to this world! Thank you God!

I feel like it was a waste of time. I informed them that I have had many lymphatic massages so the anatomy lesson was not needed. They send paperwork to my email but forget to inform you that you must do the forms on a computer. They are very hard to get a hold of. I felt like the doctor was massaging me with kid gloves on. I felt uncomfortable. I will not be returning. They try to get you with care plans twice a week until improvement, hopefully trying to get you to cough up the money right away. All in all just not somewhere I would waste my time at.

Dr. Abdul was AWESOME. my results were immediate. Im post op lipo and i came in with fluid on my stomach. I left feeling soooo much better.✊🏾

Disrespectful, I heard people that I know that had a first session with Sharon Vogel that she makes you feel like that you dont know anything. I dont know her that well, but it seems like she only cares about money and good reviews on Google so she can look good. Not a true person.

Very nice, professional and skillful. Drove over 2hours to have Lymph massage and was extremely impressed with my experience.

Disrespectful, unkind manager. I felt so uncomfortable when she gave me a massage. Its extremely upsetting that she had to pretend to be nice to me. Her attitude is unappealing, I guess she only wanted my money.

I recently had the 360 lipo about a month ago and I was swollen and very hard, so I sought out lymphatic drainage centers to help with my recovery. In a nurse practitioner so I did extensive research on what works and what doesnt. I had a consultation with the director and I was please with her knowledge base. Ive had 3 massages so far and I feel less stiff, swollen and hard. I would highly recommend going to this center for post surgical help with recovery

From what I seen Sharon Vogel only cares about the money rather than the clients. She seems at first she cares about everyone but honestly she fakes it to the clients so they can give her good reviews . Meaning she pressures them constantly to leave a positive review. Each person that reads this or even comes here , pay close attention to her and also you have a voice to say how you felt!!!!!!!!

The director Sharon is impeccable. I’m so glad I’ve found this place. I highly recommend. The environment is clean , welcoming and relaxing.

Sharon is the best . It’s pricey but worth every penny.Edit: to my previous review this is now my 17th massage updateSharon , Jennifer, Maribel allHave done myMassages . I can’t ask for a better. They are always exceptional at knowing what my body needs & listening to what i feel my body needs. This is my 17th massage with them. I don’t see myself ever going anywhere else .

Fantastic! Experts in their field and I highly recommend!

I went to see Sharon 5 weeks post op and was still pretty tender and super stiff. I left a new girl!! I slept better that night than I had since the surgery. I went to a yoga class that evening and was amazed at how much my range of motion improved - AFTER JUST ONE VISIT! She and Nick are super friendly and explain everything. You can tell she loves what she does. She really is a healer. She also gives you homework so you can keep improving at home! I would highly recommend Sharon and Nick to anyone who needs some healing from surgery or any other issues.

So far so good my body is healing today is going to be my fourth treatment out of 10 and my swollen of my body is getting better Sharon has done my massages and my god feels like heaven do recommend them and her ! I was there last year too had lipo and tummy tuck and those massages help me so much with the swollen and the Stiffness of my stomach love the place and service

Sharon is amazing!! Each time I go in stiff and sore and she always works her magic and sends me home feeling so much better.. shes patient, gentle but affective and caring to her core!! Cant wait to go back next week!!😁

A couple days ago I went in to see Sharon for the first time for a lymphatic drainage massage. It had been almost three months since surgery and I was still so uncomfortably swollen. I had already been to another therapist for massages but they were not producing any results which made me skeptical about how effective Sharon’s massages would be. Sharon lifted off any worries or skepticism as soon as she got her hands on me!Immediately after she begun the massage I could tell that she definitely knows what she’s doing. Sharon knows exactly how much pressure to apply, how to move her hands to allow your lymphs to basically open up, and how to help fluid move and find its way out. I could literally feel the fluid releasing inside.Sharon did the left side of my abdomen and before she moved on to the right side she had me touch the side that she has worked on and compare to the other side. It was unreal! My left side felt smoother, softer, more flexible while the right side was bloated, firm, and hard to bend.I am incredibly impressed by how effective Sharon’s massages are. I walked out of her office feeling significantly better than when I came in. I no longer felt so swollen and uncomfortable. I could actually suck in my stomach as I breathed in deep when prior to seeing her even that was made difficult by how much fluid was stuck in there. I can fully bend my knees now that my thighs aren’t so incredibly swollen. I just overall feel closer to my normal self after just one of Sharon’s massage therapies.I am due to see her again soon and I very much look forward to experiencing even more relief and feeling closer to being fully healed from my surgery procedure!

After being sick on and off this cold/ flu season and feeling like any tiny bug compromised my immune system, I knew I needed an overall wellness tune-up. This was the perfect place to come!Sharon was gentle in her methods and explained her work as she went so you know exactly how and why she does what she does. My problem areas were pointed out to me with recommended home care and stretches- any good healthcare professional will always recommend post-care.After researching and reading more and more, it solidified for me that these are true professionals, recommended by medical doctors, who put their heart and soul into the work they do. Time will tell if my immune system is boosted and I keep feeling as good as I felt post-visit!Thank you Sharon, I will be back for routine myofascial release/ lymphatic massage as well as try the Thai massage with Rose 🙏🏽

Love love love it. These people are practitioners. Really know therapeutic massage. Will go every time Im in Chicago

This environment is very unprofessional the owner Sharon is very disrespectful would not recommend

I was in shoulder pain went for a massage was pain free. Sharon and the crew are fantastic!!

Absolutely amazing experience. Sharon and Nick were very professional and full of EDUCATION, which is a huge help to anyone who receives a massage or treatment.Sharon started the appointment with going over the process with a book. She really took the time to go over the information with me.I feel incredible after my treatment. Will be returning every week.Thank you!

Dr. Abdul is awesome

Sharon has the magic touch. She knows exactly which part of your body to work on and how. So relaxing, I fall asleep every time and wake feeling lighter and more rejuvenated. AMAZING!

Sharon is amazing! I’ve already noticed a huge difference in the few visits. I feel great. I highly recommend her.

With Sharon all time stands still: she goes after lymph issues and muscle concerns with equal vigor. I emerge after an hour with flexibility and ankle to head circulation! Toes, too! She goes beyond holding patterns and fascia problems. Sharon is a great problem solver. Emotional side of life always gets addressed. Try it; you’ll LOVE it.

Sharon is the absolute best !! Great at what she does and a breath of fresh air to deal with . Seriously the best place I’ve been to for massages . It doesn’t get better then here . As soon as you come here be prepared to be hooked . Love this place !!!! 10 stars ✨✨

Good people knowledgeable staff

I cant really put into words the awesome service I receive at National Lymphatic Centers with Sharon. Working on lymphatic drainage and other health challenges due to Lyme Disease and stress...Sharon has been the greatest blessing. The depth of her work is mind blowing. The last two sessions we worked deeply with myofascial release - it is truly amazing how my body feels...free & clear! With each service I learn more about my body and feel nurtured and empowered to take better care of myself. I highly recommend NLC.

Sharon and Nick are true gems. I found Sharon after searching extensivley online for post surgical lymphatic massge. I couldnt be happier and will recommend to anyone.

Sharon is wonderful! I learn so much about my own body—the Lipedema and lymphedema, and how to take care of it. It’s worth a trip

Felt so comfortable ...I came in sore and could barely move...when I left I was mobile and smiling ...I am looking forward to the next visit...professional staff, clean environment, super peaceful...just what I needed...they did a lymphatic massage ...I was nervous at first because I thought it would be painful but they adjusted based on my tolerance and were tremendous
