Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage that moves and cleanses sticky lymph, clearing the body of mucous and toxins, reducing congestion and promoting healing.
MLD is particularly effective in:
Reducing primary and secondary lymphoedema, the latter sometimes arising after surgery
Helping to detoxify the body and enhancing and cleansing the immune system
Reducing pain
Improving chronic conditions, e.g. sinusitis, arthritis, acne and other skin conditions
Relieving swelling and fluid retention, for example swollen ankles and puffy eyes
Helping to heal injuries and reduce bruising
Improving scars and stretch marks and the general appearance of the skin

Further Information About Manual Lymphatic Drainage
During the early 1930's Dr. Emil Vodder created a unique range of movements which brought relief from chronic conditions such as sinus congestion and catarrh. Since Vodder's pioneering work, MLD has spread worldwide and has become a popular treatment in many European hospitals and clinics.
It is now beginning to gain acceptance in the UK as a component in the treatment and control of lymphoedema.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an advanced therapy in which the practitioner uses a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels which carry substances vital to the defence of the body and removes waste products.
The first visit will include a consultation during which the therapist will recommend the number and frequency of future sessions. Each session will last approximately one hour. Where appropriate the therapist will work in conjunction with your medical practitioner.
