MANUAl LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a curious treatment. It is nurturing, gentle and the client may even feel as though nothing is happening. The truth is, though, that much is happening, it
- stimulates the immune system
- removes blocks so our lymphatic fluid flows
- releases toxins from our muscles and bodies
- soothes our nervous system and
- promotes healing overall.
In fact MLD is the one of very few treatments recommended in the first 24 hours of a muscular injury eg: sprained ankle, pulled hamstring.
It is ideal for supporting those who have :
- swelling and oedema including carpal tunnel syndrome
- digestive issues and bloated stomachs
- constant colds, blocked sinuses and hay fever
- skin conditions including psoriasis
- glandular fever, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
- diabetes
As well as those who would like assistance whilst:
- recovering from medical treatments including oncology or cosmetic surgery
- detoxing
By achieving its primary function of stimulating and building the immune system MLD can be quite powerful. If you are curious as to how lymphatic drainage can support you, get in touch.
“Recently I started seeing Pauline after experiencing trouble with my lower legs and feet due to diabetes. There was discolouration in one of my toes and my legs were constantly aching. During the first session I didn’t think too much was going on as the treatment was so light it was hard to believe it was doing anything. Well I found myself needing to go to the toilet a lot that day, then the next morning I woke with a headache and felt slightly nauseous. All side effects of the toxins leaving my body. Yes that light treatment was indeed a lot more powerful than I realised. The following day after I felt amazing. After a few sessions the side-effects subsided as did the discolouration in my toe and although regular treatment is required to keep the aching in my legs at bay it is much improved. Thank you Pauline you are very skilled.”
