The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, lymph nodes and organs that runs throughout the body, working alongside your circulatory system.
It collects excess fluid, proteins, cellular waste and other substances from the tissues and transports them through lymphatic vessels to lymph nodes, where unwanted material can be filtered and processed.
The lymph is then returned to the bloodstream. The Lymphatic system is found millimeters below the surface of the skin and nodes are found throughout the body, including in the neck, armpits, chest, abdomen and groin, creating an extensive drainage network.
A MLD treatment is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. Unlike traditional massage, MLD uses light, controlled movements rather than deep pressure; it is a gentle and relaxing treatment and is not designed to manipulate muscles or provide deep tissue work.

Vicky always advises clients to consider multiple treatments over just 1 for maxium results
Upon your arrival Vicky will have a full catch up and conversation with you, together you will go through your consultation form, clarify anything that needs to be discussed and go through the treatment you will be receiving.
Vicky will advise you what items of clothes you'll need to remove and direct you how to position yourself on the bed before leaving the room to allow you to get settled.
Upon returning Vicky will get you settled. If it is the cooler months you can expect a cozy heated bed, weighted blanket and cozy pillow to get settled on. The warmer months will have a sarongs of sheets to cover you up and tuck you in.
The treatment itself is slow, methodical and calming. There is no rushing here and no pressure used. You can choose to switch off with the lights down low or chit chat away.
This treatment can be tailored to yourself.
Once Vicky is finished she will exit the room and allow you to slowly get up and redress.
Afterwards you may see and feel a difference, depending on what you came in for, or you may not see much at all due to this just being your first treatment.
This is a treatment where you should expect to have a few sessions for maximum benefits, we recommend between 4-6 sessions.
2 hour Appointment:
A comprehensive MLD treatment for clients who need treatment across multiple areas of the body.
This may be suitable for more widespread swelling or oedema, lymphatic conditions affecting several areas, or where a longer appointment is needed to work through multiple areas of concern.
Your treatment will be fully tailored to your individual needs and reviewed as you progress.
If you are unsure whether a full-body treatment is appropriate for you, please get in touch before booking and I can advise.

45min Appointment:
Ideal for localised swelling or post-operative swelling affecting one specific area.
For example, this may be suitable following a knee replacement, where treatment is focused primarily on the affected leg, knee and surrounding area rather than the whole body.
You may not need both legs, or a full front and back treatment. Your appointment will be tailored to the area and issue being treated.
If you are unsure whether 45 minutes is suitable for you, please get in touch before booking and I can advise.
