Manual Lymphatic Drainage

This is a specialised form of massage that aims to replicate the pumping action our movements make on our lymphatic system. 

It has powerful cleansing, relaxing, pain reducing and immune boosting properties by aiding our bodies in expelling the junk normal tissue functions produce. 

It is gentle, flowing, rhythmic and very relaxing. 

The MLD techniques facilitate the removal of:

  • Metabolic wastes
  • Excess water
  • Toxins
  • Bacteria
  • Large protein molecules
  • Foreign substances from tissue via the initial lymph vessels and the venous capillaries

In addition, it relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, reduces pain, and enhances the activity of the immune system. It helps in the treatment of swelling and lymphoedema, particularly post-surgery or trauma, by helping the body reroute the lymph around the injury site.  It is particularly useful in the treatment of the swelling and lymphoedema that can occur in response to certain cancer treatments such as radiotherapy.

It is an effective treatment for a variety of issues including:

  • Oedema
  • Skin disorders
  • Headache
  • Sinus congestion
  • Sprains and aches
  • Stress
  • Digestive disorders
  • Before and after surgery to remove tissue congestion and minimize scar formation. It is particularly useful as part of post-mastectomy therapy, helping to reduce the associated oedema and fibrosis and relieving pain and tension.

Testimonials

"Having suffered from tightness, pain and discomfort in my shoulders for over 20 years. I had to do something about it. Amanda was recommended to me by a number of people, so I felt making an appointment with her was the right way to go. 4 years later, I can say it was definitely the right decision. It took time but my shoulders have certainly been sorted along with other things over the years, that on occasions I was not even aware of, until after the treatment. I still see Amanda just to keep on top of things. So if you need help, I can fully recommend Amanda without hesitation."

"Amanda has been helping me with my back for the last six years. I've had three decompression laminectomies on my back over the last twenty years. I have seen numerous 'back people' over the years in London, Kent Buckinghamshire etc. Amanda has always corrected whatever was wrong (back, neck, shoulder etc) in one sometimes two visits. She always finds the problem area and works on it to help with the pain. Everything is done with a smile. She is undoubtedly the BEST. I have no hesitation in recommending her to many of my friends who also find her excellent. I shall continue to see her as and when I need to."
