The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes and tissues that plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance within the body and supporting the immune system.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised light-touch technique using gentle, slow and rhythmic movements.
The treatment is very different from conventional massage. Rather than applying firm pressure to muscles and soft tissues, MLD uses a much lighter touch and specific movements designed around the lymphatic system.
For many people, this makes MLD a particularly calm and relaxing form of bodywork.
At this stage of my training, my MLD service is focused on gentle lymphatic wellbeing and relaxation rather than specialist lymphoedema management.
Appointments are available from my Poynton clinic and Thrive Wellbeing Hub in Sale, providing convenient locations for clients across Cheshire East, Sale, Altrincham and South Manchester.
