Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid and elimination of metabolic waste. Stimulation of the lymphatic system through MLD improves health and immune function, promotes general wellbeing, and assists with a range of lymphatic conditions such as; sinusitis, swelling after surgery, lymphoedema, lipoedema, fibromyalgia, and sports recovery.
Scar Tissue Release Therapy
Scar Tissue Release Therapy is a gentle and effective technique used to decrease discomfort, adhesions, or congestion of scar tissue that impacts the fascia. Fascia is that ‘Glad wrap’ looking tissue that binds, connects and holds the individual components of the body together.
Your treatment will combine manual therapies such as myofascial hold techniques, stretch and lift and cupping to release the fascial restrictions. You may feel such sensations as a slight tugging or pressure as the scar tissue is released. Your therapist will communicate with you throughout your session to ensure that you are comfortable.
Pregnancy Massage
During pregnancy, it is not unusual to experience excess fluid. When not related to pregnancy complications, manual lymphatic drainage may help relieve the discomfort of swollen legs and feet. Medical compression stockings may also be recommended to ease tired, swollen legs where appropriate.
Pregnancy can be both emotionally fulfilling and physically demanding. A specially designed massage sequence can relieve tension and discomfort, helping you feel calm, nurtured, and relaxed. This pregnancy massage may also provide relief from headaches, as well as aching legs and feet.
Compression stockings may also be advisable to help prevent varicose veins and ongoing leg discomfort.
