Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Ursula is a qualified Healthcare Therapist and clinical specialist in Lymphedema, Lipoedema, and other lymphatic disorders. This specialized service is available exclusively for cancer patients who may be experiencing lymphatic complications as a result of their treatment.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic massage technique pioneered by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s. Using light, slow touch movements, MLD works to stimulate the body's lymph node stations, promoting circulation and enhancing the body's natural cleansing and detoxification processes.

This treatment is particularly effective for managing lymphedema, helping to reduce symptoms while improving functionality, mobility, and quality of life. During sessions, the therapist uses varying pressure intensities to encourage lymph fluid movement away from congested areas, bypassing damaged lymph vessels. The gentle treatment involves drainage of the neck, trunk, and affected areas, with specialist bandages and compression sleeves recommended as needed.

MLD offers significant therapeutic benefits, including pain reduction, improved immune function, reduced fluid buildup, and deep relaxation through its rhythmic, calming technique. This non-invasive treatment provides natural pain relief while supporting the nervous system's healing response.
