Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic treatment that supports the body’s natural lymphatic system, encouraging the movement of lymph fluid and promoting balance, detoxification, and healing. Using light, rhythmic and precise techniques, this treatment works with the body rather than forcing change, making it deeply calming as well as effective.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in immune health, fluid balance, and the removal of waste products. When lymph flow becomes sluggish—due to stress, illness, surgery, injury, or emotional overload—swelling, fatigue, and a general feeling of heaviness can occur. MLD helps to gently stimulate lymph flow, supporting the body’s ability to heal and restore itself.

This treatment works not only on the physical body but also on the nervous, emotional and energetic systems, often bringing a profound sense of relaxation, lightness and wellbeing. Many people report feeling calmer, clearer and more balanced following treatment.

What Can Manual Lymphatic Drainage Help With?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage may be beneficial for a wide range of conditions where the lymphatic, immune and nervous systems would benefit from gentle support.

Fluid retention and swelling
Lymphoedema (primary and secondary, where appropriate)
Post-surgical swelling, scar healing and recovery
Post-injury swelling, bruising and tissue repair
Recovery following illness or infection
Sinus congestion and chronic sinus conditions
Headaches and migraines
Fibromyalgia
Chronic fatigue and burnout
Stress, anxiety and nervous system dysregulation
Poor circulation and feelings of heaviness
Digestive sluggishness and bloating
Hormonal imbalance and premenstrual discomfort
Skin conditions supported by lymphatic congestion (such as acne or dull skin)
Support during detoxification processes
General immune system support

MLD is also often chosen during times of physical, emotional or energetic overload, helping to restore balance and promote a deeper sense of wellbeing.

What to Expect from Your Treatment

Your treatment will take place in a quiet, calm and supportive environment. Following a full consultation, your session will be tailored to your individual needs, health history and how your body is responding at that time.

MLD uses very light, slow and rhythmic movements. Although the touch is subtle, the effects can be profound. The treatment is deeply relaxing, and many clients experience a sense of rest, release and renewal during and after the session.
