💚Treatment Spotlight: Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage 💚
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, light-touch therapy that supports your body’s lymphatic system — the network that helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid. While it feels deeply relaxing, MLD is far more than just a ‘gentle massage’ — it’s a clinically recognised technique with real health benefits.
What MLD Can Help With
💚Post-surgery recovery – reduces swelling and supports healing after cosmetic or medical procedures.
💚Lipoedema and lymphoedema management – encourages fluid movement and reduces discomfort.
💚General wellbeing – supports detoxification, reduces puffiness, and promotes a sense of lightness.
💚Chronic conditions – may be part of care for fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or sinus issues.
Myth v Fact
Myth 1
🛑 Myth: “It’s just a light massage, so it can’t be effective.”
✅ Fact: MLD uses precise, rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system — working deeply under the skin without heavy pressure.
Myth 2
🛑 Myth: “MLD will make me lose weight.”
✅ Fact: MLD reduces swelling and puffiness, but it doesn’t remove fat. Changes are from less fluid retention, not fat loss.
Myth 3
🛑 Myth: “Anyone can do it.”
✅ Fact: MLD requires specialist accredited training to be safe and effective, especially for post-surgical and medical clients.
Myth 4
🛑 Myth: “It works instantly and permanently.”
✅ Fact: Many notice results after one session, but long-term benefits come from a series of treatments and ongoing self-care.
