Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an extremely gentle treatment comprised of light rhythmic pumping, rocking, circular, pushing, stretching & compressing techniques. They facilitate the removal of metabolic wastes, excess water, bacteria, toxins, large protein molecules & foreign substances from tissues in the body.

This treatment has powerful cleansing, relaxing, pain-releiving & immunological effects to make you feel revitalised, glowing and energised. No massage oil is used in MLD.

In the current day the norm has become a lifestyle of highly processed foods, lack of exercise, deydration & unhealthy habits which stress and make our lymphatic system sluggish. This causes a cycle of more waste products & less energy.

For this reason ANYBODY can benefit from MLD as part of a general detox by improving energy, reducing puffiness / water retention / swelling, increasing oxygen in cells & boost immunity.

As well as the conditions mentioned in the image below MLD can also benefit:

ME (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)
Migraines
Sinus Problems
Hayfever
Cellulite
Digestive Issues
Stress, Anxiety & Tension
Long Covid
Dysfunctional Respiratory Systems

The lymphatic system is a network of tissues, vessels and organs that synergise to maintain fluid balance, protect the body from infection, and absorb fats. It acts as a drainage system for excess fluid and waste products, and houses lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell crucial for immunity.

Key Roles of the Lymphatic System are:

Fluid Balance: The lymphatic system collects excess fluid (lymph) that leaks from blood capillaries and returns it to the bloodstream, preventing swelling and maintaining proper fluid levels in the body.

Immunity: Lymph nodes, located along lymphatic vessels, filter lymph and trap bacteria, viruses, and other foreign substances. They also contain lymphocytes, which are essential for fighting infections and other diseases.

Fat Absorption: The lymphatic system absorbs fats and fat-soluble vitamins from the small intestine and transports them to the bloodstream.

Waste Removal: It also helps remove waste products from the body's tissues and transports them to the bloodstream for elimination.
