Sometimes gravity and exercise aren’t enough to effectively move your lymph through your body. This can cause a range of problems, from sickness to lethargy. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised massage technique that uses light, rhythmic, and precise hand movements intended to encourage the natural drainage of lymph, by directing it to flow more efficiently.
Please be aware that if you have an underlying or the start of an illness such as a cold or sore throat, MLD massage can bring these out quicker. If you are ill or have been within the last 10 days we advise you to only book in once fully recovered.
Important - Please read
Although Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) feels gentle, it can significantly stimulate fluid circulation, including blood flow. Consequently, it may not be appropriate for individuals with congestive heart failure, active cancer or any undiagnosed lump, serious circulatory problems, kidney failure, inflammation or infection of the lymphatic vessels, a risk of blood clotting, organ transplant or skin infections.
Where appropriate, confirmation from your oncologist or relevant specialist would need to be sought prior to going ahead with any MLD massage.

A. We treat patients on a case-by-case basis, so it’s difficult to put a number on visits. We will always discuss our proposed course of action with the patient, as we go along. It very much depends on the response to treatment.
A. MLD is a specialised massage technique that uses light, rhythmic, and precise hand movements intended to encourage the natural drainage of lymph, by directing it to flow more efficiently. A specific sequence is followed to ensure target lymph node groups and regions of the body where lymph flow needs to be stimulated are all encompassed. The sequence and direction of strokes stimulates the lymphatic flow from congested areas. A 60-minute MLD massage can increase the speed of the lymphatic system by 100 times.
A. The lymphatic system is an extensive network of lymph vessels that helps keep bodily fluid balanced by draining excess fluid that accumulates in bodily tissue. Lymph is the fluid within the vessels that carries waste products away from the tissues and transports it back into the bloodstream and back towards the heart.

After just 10 minutes into my appointment, Lucy was able to detect what was causing my pain. She was incredibly professional, gave me lots of advice and I left feeling 2 inches taller and in a lot less pain. Looking forward to my next appointment!
