About

Maja Njagojev — Lymphedema Therapist

Thirteen years devoted to one field: restoring mobility and confidence to people living with swelling.

Maja Njagojev - manual lymphatic drainage therapist
My journey

Dedicated to what
I do

I have been practicing clinically since 2013, when I first discovered how much manual lymphatic drainage changes the daily lives of people who have struggled with swelling for years. Since then I have continuously trained further in lymphology, because I believe a therapist must never stop learning.

I trained in the Földi method — the original German technique and the most recognized world standard in treating lymphedema. I built on that knowledge with a certification in complex decongestive therapy (CDT), as well as additional techniques such as kinesio taping.

I believe every therapy must begin with an assessment, not a ready-made prescription. Every body, every swelling and every life situation is different — and that is exactly why I approach every patient individually, without templates.

Approach to therapy

Every patient is their own story

I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Lymphedema, lipedema and venous insufficiency differ from person to person — in cause, stage, and how they affect daily life. That is why every treatment begins with a conversation and a detailed assessment, and the therapy plan is built together with the patient, step by step.

My goal isn't just to ease the swelling, but to restore mobility, reduce pain and help people feel confident in their own bodies again.
