Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) in Plymouth


Considered to be both a preventative and remedial therapy, MLD is profoundly relaxing and can enhance your well-being.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an advanced therapy that uses gentle, rhythmic pumping movements to move the direction of the lymph flow, stimulating the lymphatic system to carry vital substances to defend the body and remove waste products.

MLD and Cosmetic Surgery

Manual Lymphatic Drainage might be one of the best-kept secrets to health and beauty.

Often prescribed to improve healing, speed recovery, and reduce scarring after cosmetic surgery, MLD will help reduce swelling and bruising, encourage better scar formation, and accelerate healing.

A course of MLD treatment makes the Cosmetic Surgery healing process much faster

MLD and Breast Cancer

With around 46,000 women diagnosed each year, breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK. Secondary Lymphoedema or swelling of the arm may occur after cancer treatment, affecting about 25% of breast cancer patients.

Symptoms of Secondary Lymphoedema can include:

  • Feelings of tightness or heaviness
  • Stretching of the skin
  • Swelling, reduced movement of the joints
  • Discomfort and pain

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a noninvasive treatment that can treat and control these symptoms. A range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques are used to move excess fluid into an area with a working lymph vessel system, helping to move excess fluid away from the swollen area so it can drain normally.

There are also different types of Lymphoedema, or swelling of limbs or other body parts, caused by an abnormal build-up of a fluid called lymph in the body’s tissues, such as venous insufficiency (where blood flow through your leg veins is blocked, causing blood to pool in your legs).

Long COVID
MLD has been shown to assist in the recovery from Long-term COVID by reducing swelling and encouraging the lymphatic system to flow more freely, thus enhancing detoxification.
