Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
What is it?
MLD is a gentle light form of massage with or without oil. It stimulates the micro musculature of the body to contract and stimulates the blood capillaries (minute blood vessels) and encourages the absorption of excess fluids and eliminates waste products from the body.
This in turn positively affects the immune system, oxygen intake in the cells, nutritional absorption and increases energy, enhancing the healing process.
For women following breast surgery/removal of Lymph nodes, I also receive referrals from The Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven Charity.
What can MLD be used for?
- Nasal congestion, Catarrh, sinus problems.
- Bowel issues, eg: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation.
- Arthritis - can help to alleviate pain.
- General Oedema (swelling of the body) - eg: facial, arms, legs, ankles.
- After surgery - either general or cosmetic, to reduce swelling and expedite healing.
- After breast cancer surgery including removal of lymph nodes, and women suffering from Lymphoedema
- Calms the nervous system - can help reduce stress.
- Treatment and control of Lymphoedema (postoperative or chronic).
- Reduce swelling after flying.
- Increase energy levels (dependent on the cause).
