Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a specialised massage technique that encourages lymph fluid to drain out of an area affected by swelling into an area that drains normally. It is a very gentle, non-invasive skin massage that helps to gently restore this system. Our lymphatic system helps to protect us from infection and disease by acting as a one-way drainage system which filters excess fluid, toxins and waste. Lymphatic drainage can benefit people who suffer regularly from common illnesses like colds and flue, Glandular Fever, ME, Migraines, Sinus Problems, Post Cosmetic Surgery, Digestive Problems, Stress and anxiety, Long Covid. It is also recommended for people who lead sedentary lifestyles, or those who want to reduce puffiness caused by water retention, poor circulation or pregnancy. Additionally, it can have a positive effect on respiratory systems, people with low energy and before or after a long-haul flight.
How much will it cost?
One session lasting 30 minutes is £40 (this session is only suitable if you are looking at one or two particular areas)
One session lasting one hour is £60
Post-Surgery Manual Lymphatic Drainage
If you're considering MLD following surgery, I offer a gentle, tailored approach designed around your individual recovery.
Post-surgical treatment is not the same for everyone, so before treatment I would need to understand what procedure you've had and where you are in your recovery.
Before your treatment
We'll complete a consultation and medical information form before treatment. I'll discuss your surgery and recovery with you and establish whether MLD is appropriate.
Medical clearance from your surgeon or healthcare professional may be required before treatment, particularly following cosmetic or major surgery.
Home visits
Home visits may be available if you're unable to travel to me following surgery. Additional charges apply.
If you're considering post-surgical MLD, please contact me before booking so we can discuss your circumstances.
