Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Exciting news – Manual Lymphatic Drainage appointments are now available!

As a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT), I’m committed to continually updating my skills to provide the best possible care. This year, I’ve started 2025 with a course I’ve been eager to complete for some time: Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). I’m thrilled to offer this transformative treatment as a stand-alone service or incorporate it into your massage and scar therapy sessions where needed.

What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialised, gentle massage technique designed to encourage the natural flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system is essential for removing waste, toxins, and excess fluid, while also supporting immune function and reducing swelling.

Using light, rhythmic, and precise movements, MLD works on the lymph vessels just beneath the skin to enhance circulation, improve detoxification, and promote overall wellbeing.

Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Regular MLD sessions can offer a wide range of health benefits, including:

Boosting immune function.
Aiding the elimination of metabolic waste and toxins.
Improving nutrient transport to cells and enhancing metabolic efficiency.
Calming the nervous system, helping to relieve stress and anxiety.
Reducing puffiness, rejuvenating collagen fibres, and slowing the signs of ageing, making it ideal for facial care.

Conditions That Can Benefit from MLD

MLD can be an effective treatment for many conditions, such as:

Constipation and digestive issues.
Stress and anxiety.
Scar tissue.
Swelling, oedema, and fluid retention (e.g., puffy eyes, ankles, hands, or legs).
Pre- and post-operative care.
Long Covid.
Recurrent infections, including colds, flu, ear and chest infections.
Glandular fever.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (ME).
Migraines and sinus issues.
Hay fever.
Cellulite and weight-related fluid retention.

Whether you’re looking to reduce swelling, speed up your recovery from surgery, enhance your skin’s appearance, or simply enjoy a calming wellness boost, MLD could be the perfect choice for you.
