Manual Lymphatic Drainage
What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an advanced therapy in which the practitioner uses a range of specialised and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels which carry substances vital to the defence of the body and removes waste products.
MLD is both preventative and remedial and can enhance your well being. Furthermore, MLD:

Promotes the healing of fractures, torn ligaments, sprains and lessens pain.
Can improve many chronic conditions including sinusitis, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, acne and other skin conditions.

Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a gentle, hands-on therapy that targets the fascia—the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles throughout the body. Over time, stress, injury, or inflammation can cause this tissue to become tight or restricted, leading to pain and limited movement. Myofascial release works by applying sustained pressure to these areas of tension, helping to restore mobility, reduce discomfort, and promote overall physical well-being. It’s a highly effective technique for those dealing with chronic pain, postural imbalances, or muscle tightness that traditional massage alone may not resolve.
Deep Tissue & Sports Massage
Deep Tissue & Sports Therapy Massage is designed for athletes and individuals with chronic muscle tension, this massage targets deeper layers of muscle tissue to release tightness, improve flexibility, and promote faster recovery. It is especially beneficial for those recovering from injuries or managing conditions like sciatica and lower back pain.
