Gentle treatment to reduce fluid build up and swelling
About
Lymph is the watery fluid that moves through your lymphatic system, carrying nutrients and proteins to all cells in your body, and collecting fluid from your tissues and returning them to your blood. Your lymphatic system helps to support your overall health and immune system.
Lymph needs to keep moving but some conditions can make this difficult, such as lymphoedema and cancerous tumours.
Many health conditions and surgeries can cause a build up of fluids (typically in the limbs and also the face and abdomen) causing swelling, puffiness and bloating (lymphoedema and oedema). Manual Lymphatic Drainage can effectively treat this.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, flowing rhythmic treatment. It has powerful cleansing , relaxing, pain relieving and immunological effects and can be tolerated by those who may find stronger massage and body work uncomfortable.
Post Operative MLD
Gentle support for your body’s healing after surgery
Recovering from surgery can leave you feeling swollen, tight, and uncomfortable. Post‑operative lymphatic drainage is a specialised, very gentle massage technique designed to support your body’s natural healing processes, reduce swelling, and help you feel more at ease as you recover.
Commonly recommended after cosmetic and other surgeries.
