* MLD - Manual Lymphatic Drainage

MLD is a specialised therapy designed to improve the functioning and drainage of the lymphatic system. The gentle touch of this technique has a pain-relieving and relaxing effect on the body. Specific movements stimulate the contractions of the lymphatic vessels. This allows for the removal of toxins and excess fluid from the body. MLD is mostly used as a fluid drainage method on sufferers of Lymphoedema. It has many other benefits such as relieving Sinus pain, enhancing recovery post-surgery, alleviating swelling, and promoting healing in sports injuries .

Decongestive Therapy:

Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is the recommended treatment for both Primary and Secondary Lymphoedema. It is a combined treatment of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, Skincare, Exercise and multi-layer compression bandaging to reduce the swelling, followed by the continuous wearing of compression garments to maintain the reduction. CDT is an effective treatment for swelling following Lymph Node Removal or damage to the lymphatic system as a result of cancer treatment.

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the use of pure plant oils to promote good health and counteract disease. It has a soothing effect on tight or painful muscles, increases circulation, reduces stress, and induces relaxation. Whether you wish to be pampered or have a speciefic condition, Aromatherapy Massage has a profound effect on Mind, Body and Spirit.

Reflexology

Reflexology is preventative health care which balances the body, improves immunity and circulation, reduces stress, inducing relaxation to bring harmony to Mind, Body, and Spirit. Thumb pressure is applied to reflexes on the feet that correspond with the organs, glands, and body parts. Crystals of uric acid become deposited in the reflexes, these are broken up and dispersed by reflexology. Sluggish organs are stimulated into functioning more efficiently.

Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment used traditionally to treat migraines, sinusitis and stimulate hair growth. A range of massage techniques are used on the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face to relieve pain, tension and congestion.
