MLD is a very gentle, light touch massage used to treat and manage swelling due to lymphoedema, ease the discomfort of lipoedema and help recovery following cosmetic surgery. It can also have a positive impact on:

• Auto immune conditions
• ME/ Chronic fatigue
• Pain
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Sinusitis

It calms inflammation and the nervous system, strengthens the immune system and improves the flow of lymph through deep breathing and specialised lymph drainage techniques. MLD can ease congested areas of swelling to reduce inflammation and pain. It can be particularly helpful for breast oedema following breast cancer treatment. 

Kineseotaping, skin care, exercises, scar release and self massage techniques can all be taught within the session if indicated. MLD can be a deeply relaxing treatment helping to ease stress and tension.

Post cosmetic surgery support can also be offered with a course of MLD treatments tailored to your needs to help reduce bruising, swelling and improve healing. A course of 6 to 10 treatments, 2 or 3 times a week initially is recommended. This can be discussed and planned when you have a date for your surgery and early booking is advised to ensure availability. I am a member of MLD UK and BLS.
