Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD) is a treatment that works with the lymphatic system. This system is responsible for keeping us healthy by being the transport system for tissue waste product and nutrients from the digestive system. Without the balance of fresh nutrients going in and waste product coming out of our tissues, we fall unwell in some way. This can manifest as tiredness/sluggishness or can end up as systemic inflammation causing an intolerance to exposed goods.

MLD improves the movement of lymph (fluid) in its system and in turn, allows clogged fluid to move along the system as normal. MLD has a calming effect on the nervous system so conditions that create a heightened state can be improved, in some cases, massively e.g., anxiety, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia and ME. These conditions create hypersensitivity in the tissues and widespread fatigue, so MLD can calm the body to receive less signals and improve energy levels.

A 50 minute treatment covers 2 limbs and associated lymph node clusters (upper body or lower body).

A 90-100 minute treatment covers the whole body.
