March is Lymphoedema Awareness Month, a time to shine a light on a condition that affects millions worldwide, yet remains widely misunderstood.

Lymphoedema is a long-term condition that causes swelling, discomfort, and changes in daily life. It can develop after cancer treatment, surgery, infection, or occur naturally — and for many, it’s an invisible struggle.

By raising awareness, we help reduce stigma, encourage early diagnosis, and support those living with lymphoedema every single day.

Let’s learn, share, and stand together.

Yes, it is that time of the year when we need to keep our immune system healthy.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a powerful treatment and the results are outstanding.

If you are prone to chest infections and long drawn out colds lasting for weeks, then you might want to try MLD. It won't stop you from having infections but it will make your immune system work harder and as a result you will have a milder version of illness.
You should consider treatment when you are well or when you have recovered.

The treatment is suitable for all ages and most people find it very relaxing.

Give it a go and let your body heal better this winter!

Lymphoedema is a chronic and progressive condition affecting millions of people around the world. It is caused by a malfunction of the lymphatic system, meaning the system struggles to remove excess fluid, bacteria and other waste products from the body.

This leads to a build up of fluid, particularly around your arms and legs resulting in pain, discomfort, swelling and significantly impacts the quality of life.

Lymphoedema is defined by either Primary or Secondary, meaning you can have it from birth or as a genetic, congenital abnormality or following surgery such as breast cancer where around 20% of patients present with lymphoedema.

Despite these statistics, many are still unaware of this condition and its effects, including the medical profession.

Recent research includes Fluoroscopy Guided studies where we can see the development of lymphatic flow and treat the patient accordingly.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage can significantly improve lymphatic flow and reduce swelling, pain and discomfort. It is not a “massage style” that is often advertised on social media. It is a specific technique following the direction of lymphatic pathways with gentle repetitive handmovements.

We work alongside private and NHS surgeons and lymphoedema clinics to get the best results possible.
