How does Manual Lymph Drainage work?
MLD is a specific massage technique designed to increase the normal lymphokinetic activity and encourage fluid to drain from an oedematous region to a non –oedematous area of the body. It aims to improve the function of the lymphatics. MLD allows the channels to drain in new directions thus aiding drainage from congested or obstructed areas.Because lymph only flows in one direction proximal areas are treated before distal areas. The technique is a gentle pumping action. Pressure is very light because lymph flow is just under the skin
MLD affects the automatic nervous system and gives improvements to damaged nerve areas. These light techniques activate the body’s own energies. They are encouraged to flow through channels or along nerve pathways to all parts, systems and areas of the body.
MLD is very relaxing and induces a deep sense of relaxation that enables the body’s own healing mechanisms to restore health and balance.

Manual Lymph Drainage does not cure. But by stimulating the lymph and encouraging fluid to drain this improves circulation, Lymphatics and immune systems. Releasing poisons and toxins will improve lethargy and tiredness. Overall inducing the body’s own healing potential, it can be of great benefit in most conditions.

Testimonial for Cranio Sacral Therapy, MLD and Reflexology
I came across Reflexology during a recent trip to the Far East and on my return was determined to continue the good that the Chinese sessions had done for me.
My apprehension was allayed within minutes and I have made regular visits to Joy during the last year. With her deep knowledge, which is borne lightly, she has cleared years of blocked sinuses (with manual lymph drainage,) repaired damaged muscles and joint tissue (with Cranio Sacral therapy) and generally sorted out my body for the better.
She has advised gently on altering habits without any dictatorial insistence on fundamental changes in lifestyle and has reached the source and healed so many of the aches and pains brought on by middle age.
I hope my visits to her continue for many years to come.

Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle therapy but if there is tension, blockage or imbalance in an area, these areas may be a little tender. As balance is restored the tenderness should disappear.

How often would I need to go for Manual Lymph Drainage treatment?
Changes in the Lymph can be slow in some chronic cases. Much would depend on the condition and circumstances and this needs to be discussed with your practitioner when you go for your first appointment, when a consultation is taken including medical history. In severe cases you may need two or three sessions a week. Many clients start by having a weekly session and then reduce the number of treatments as their condition improves. Monthly or six weekly top up sessions can help to maintain good health.
i.e.: - improve immune system, sleep, blood circulation, reduce stress, anxiety and clear out the build up of toxins from the body.
