Michelle Licha-Oros Scar + Lymph Wellness
LMT, CMLDT, CLT
Welcome to Scar + Lymph Wellness. I'm Michelle Licha-Oros.
I provide specialized, therapeutic bodywork to support healing after surgery, injury, or cancer treatment. My practice focuses on reducing swelling, improving tissue health, and helping your body recover more efficiently and comfortably. Using techniques like manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), myofascial scar tissue therapy, and fibrosis massage, I create personalized sessions tailored to your stage of healing—whether you're in the early phases of recovery or managing long-term effects. My goal is to offer informed, compassionate care that helps you restore function, ease discomfort, and feel more at home in your body.
These therapies can help with:
• Swelling, bruising, and post-surgical inflammation
• Scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions
• Radiation fibrosis and tissue changes after cancer treatment
• Lymphedema management (maintenance phase)
• Mobility, comfort, and cosmetic appearance
I work with clients recovering from:
• Orthopedic, plastic, and reconstructive surgeries
• Breast surgeries (mastectomy, lumpectomy, explant, gynecomastia and top surgery)
• Abdominal and pelvic procedures (e.g. C-section, endometriosis, hysterectomy)
• Oncology-related scars and swelling
• Head, neck, and dermatological trauma
• Chronic swelling or congestion related to autoimmune conditions or toxic exposures
Certified Lymphedema Therapy in Bend, Oregon
As a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT), I provide MLD to support those living with chronic swelling and lymphedema.

"The swelling in my ankle has gone down drastically! This is by far the best it's looked since the accident. Thank you!"
JUDY
Mastectomy Scar & Radiation Firbosis
Scar Tissue Therapy
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
"Michelle has a calm, compassionate, and specialized touch. When I found her, she guided me to breathe into my scars so I could heal from the inside out. The scars from my recent breast cancer surgeries and treatments left me tight and constricted and unable to move my shoulder without pain. While Michelle’s hands and fingers gently massaged my radiated skin back to elasticity I could sense her focused mind examining every fiber of facia, teaching it to grow, transform, heal, and flourish the many layers of facia into new muscle and tissue for my future survival. I am forever grateful for Michelle Licha-Oros and recommend anyone who is presented with a life scarring challenge to heal with her special touch.

"I am forever grateful that a good friend of mine who is also a Massage Therapist referred me to Michelle Licha-Oros. Michelle is a highly skilled and compassionate Massage Therapist who has the knowledge and the “touch” to deal with abdominal adhesions which I suffered from for years. Michelle began treating me about 8 weeks after my 5th major abdominal surgery, which I underwent for lysis of multiple adhesions (from prior surgeries) and removal of sections of both large and small intestines. Michelle is at the same time gentle, careful as well as effective. She worked closely with me during every session, seeking my input about areas of concern and feedback about her treatment. Michelle is that rare clinician who combines a strong kinesthetic and intuitive sense of touch with a caring manner and her extensive knowledge and training in anatomy and therapeutic massage techniques.
