Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage is a light therapy that helps improve the flow of the lymph in your body.
You may have heard of MLD and be wondering if it is for you. It is particularly recommended to help with:
- Oncology treatment
- Recent surgery
- Liposuction
- Detoxification programmes
- Lymphoedema
- Reducing puffiness or water retention when you are due for your period or experiencing peri-menopause symptoms
This is a very light treatment using massage techniques that help move the lymph (a fluid that regulates which substances are needed or not in your blood) towards the lymph nodes, which are located at certain points in the body (see the picture). It is effective for many people because blockages can develop in the lymphatic system, for instance after an operation.
Our specialist practitioner conducts a detailed first consultation with you to determine your needs to discuss what your treatment plan may entail.
