Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Wellness

Service Description

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, non-invasive manual technique that has a powerful effect on the body. It utilises techniques that are soft, gentle and pain-free, that work directly with your lymphatic system, that is, your immune system. This system is responsible for cleansing our tissues and maintaining a balance of fluids within the body with a network of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes that transport and filter waste matter and harmful cells. Here at Body Matters, we are trained under the Schools of Dr Vodder and Casley Smith, internationally recognised, gold-standard training based on scientific, physiological principles that have been proven to encourage lymph flow. MLD can help assist with general well-being and immunity. Below are some examples of what MLD can help with: • Chronic sinusitis and migraine • Pain, non- infected inflammation, oedema and swelling post-surgery, e.g. post cosmetic and plastic surgery incl. tummy tuck, liposuction, breast augmentation, face lift etc. • People recuperating from a chronic illness. Our clients report the treatment to be very relaxing and soothing. • People recovering from cold and flu. However, it is not beneficial during acute stages of illness (i.e. fever) as it can worsen the condition/symptoms. • Clearer looking skin and improved skin tone during detox or weight loss programs. • Reduced appearance of bruising
