What is it?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised massage designed to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid around the body, helping to reduce fluid retention, puffiness and swelling and leave you feeling lighter and less congested.
At Clever Contours in Marple, our MLD treatments are performed by experienced practitioner Beth Walton and can combine hands on lymphatic drainage techniques with Brazilian wood therapy, depending on your individual needs.
We keep things simple with just two options:
Full Body MLD
A complete lymphatic drainage treatment for the whole body, individually tailored following your consultation with Beth.
Bespoke MLD
A targeted treatment focusing on the areas that need the most attention. Beth will assess your needs on the day and decide the best combination of techniques for you.
Every appointment begins with a thorough consultation, so you don't need to decide which techniques you need before booking. Simply choose Full Body or Bespoke and Beth will take care of the rest.
Both treatments also include 10 minutes on our vibration plate as part of your appointment.
How does Manual Lymphatic Drainage work?
Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system helps maintain fluid balance throughout the body. Unlike the circulatory system, it doesn't have a central pump like the heart and relies partly on movement and muscle activity to help move lymphatic fluid.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses gentle, rhythmic movements to encourage the movement of lymph through the lymphatic system. It is a light pressure technique and is very different from a traditional deep tissue massage.
MLD may help to:
-
Reduce swelling and fluid retention
-
Support lymphatic flow
-
Relieve feelings of heaviness or puffiness
-
Support recovery following certain surgical procedures, where MLD is appropriate
-
Promote relaxation and a sense of wellbeing
