Gentle, effective treatment for lymphatic health, post-surgical recovery and chronic
conditions

MLD is a specialised therapy that uses precise skin stretching techniques to stimulate your lymphatic system and encourage natural fluid drainage. It can be effective for the treatment and management of 

  • Lymphoedema and Lipoedema
  • Preparing for, and speeding up healing after surgery
  • Relieving fluid congestion
  • Supporting immune function

Types of clients:

  • Have lymphoedema, lipoedema or chronic swelling (providing other causes of swelling
    have been ruled out)
  • Are recovering from surgery (including cosmetic or orthopaedic procedures)
  • Are at risk of lymphoedema after cancer treatment
  • Experience chronic inflammatory conditions like fibromyalgia

Combined Decongestive Therapy

If you’re living with lymphoedema or lipoedema, you may benefit from a more comprehensive treatment approach. Combined Decongestive Therapy integrates multiple elements to reduce swelling and help you manage your condition effectively:

  • Manual Lymphatic Drainage to stimulate fluid movement
  • Compression bandaging during intensive treatment phases to reduce limb volume
  • Compression garment fitting and advice to maintain results
  • Exercise and movement guidance tailored to your condition
  • Skin care and self-management strategies

Treatment is highly individual. During your initial assessment, we will recommend treatment options. Some people may benefit from short-term intensive compression bandaging to reduce limb volume initially before moving into a maintenance phase. Whilst we will make recommendations, we will always work with you based on what is realistic for you and your circumstances.
