massage puts it back
manual lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic system is extremely important but often little understood. Running alongside the blood circulatory system, the lymph is primarily used by the body to regulate protein & fat molecules in the blood. But another major role is to produce anti-bodies to fight infection and to take up the waste products of infection. In this way, the lymphatic system is a major part of the immune system. Perhaps the most common way we experience the lymphatic system working is when the glands in our neck swell up with a cold or sore throat as the lymph glands increase in size to cope with fighting the infection.
A much more medical massage than usual, MLD is used in two ways. Either to move the lymph through the body and so ease swollen areas, or as a full body treatment, to counteract a sluggish system and support a weakened immune system – good for people who continually feel tired, suffer regularly from colds or live with ME / chronic fatigue syndrome / Lyme Disease.
My treatments are to treat the latter and are therefore full body treatments only.
Those seeking treatment for lymphoedema or other swellings, are advised to find a practitioner from the website: www.mlduk.org.uk.
