LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Professional Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a professional technique used to activate the lymphatic flow, detoxifying the body, enhancing energy and reducing inflammation. It is a non-invasive and gentle pulsating massage using very light pressure.
MLD therapy requires advanced training to learn the precise complex movements at the correct speed and pressure to re-stimulate the lymphatic system. The techniques are based on scientific and physiological principles that have proven to encourage lymph flow.
Your Lymphatic Drainage Treatment
Treatment is similar to a massage , but using a very light pressure. Depending on your health condition your practitioner will recommend the number and frequency of treatments.
The benefits of treatment include:
- a reduction in swelling
- feeling relaxed and energised
- detoxification
- pain reduction
- an improved immune system
After an assessment Jackie will be able to provide self care advice and offer support for those conditions that are unlikely to fully resolve.
