MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Specialised massage to assist the lymphatic system & reduce swelling.

​Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage (MLD) fast becoming one of the most popular forms of massage.  It is unusual in that the therapeutic touch is very light and seemingly insignificant but the results are dramatic and can be life changing.  Lymphatic drainage is probably best known in the medical/surgical world as it deals with swelling and pain management of post operative patients, but its ability to detox the body, boost healing and increase energy is now being noticed more than ever.

​

Pre and post Surgery:  Lymphatic drainage should be performed by a specialist therapist, especially if it is being used to aid recovery after surgery.  With a previous career in nursing as well as being an experienced therapist, we have successfully taken care of many people post surgery including a vast variety of cosmetic work.  Using a blend of helpful techniques including MLD, Swedish massage and scar work, the end result is smooth and scar appearance is miniscule. More than basic training is required to treat patients who have had treatment for cancer and other serious medical interventions.

​

​

Chronic fatigue and recovery from serious medical ailments:  Some of the challenges that MLD can help with are:

​

  • Detoxing

  • Boosting immunity

  • Arthritis

  • Asthma

  • Eczema

  • Chronic fatigue

  • Fibromyalgia

  • ME

  • Sinus problems
