Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised soft tissue technique designed to stimulate your lymphatic system, helping to promote relaxation, reduce swelling & boost immunity. 

​

MLD may offer a range of benefits, including:

  • Helping to alleviate fluid retention & reduce puffiness

  • Supporting the body’s immune system

  • Accelerating recovery & healing

  • Assisting in flushing out metabolic waste and toxins

  • Promoting relaxation and stress relief

 

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic inflammation, or simply seeking a natural way to feel lighter and more energised, MLD can be a valuable addition to your health routine

​

*Please note*

Treatment is not offered for Lymphoedema, caused by damage to the lymphatic system or problems with the movement and drainage of fluid in the lymphatic system due to genetics, cancer treatment, infection or injury.

Post surgical MLD is only offered 6 weeks post surgery where there have been no complications or infection.

Dry Cupping Therapy

Dry Cupping is a technique that can be used in conjunction with massage therapy.

 

Plastic cups are applied to the skin and a suction pump is used to create a vacuum, causing a stretch to the skin and connective tissues. The technique has been found to be helpful in relieving muscle tension, muscular spasms and pain, headaches & back problems.
