Manual Lymph Drainage

Our bodies are remarkable at self-care, but sometimes they need a little extra support. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet powerful treatment designed to stimulate lymph fluid flow, aiding your body in naturally removing toxins, reducing swelling, and restoring balance.

At Essentially Blended, we specialise in this therapeutic technique, offering relief for various concerns:

• Facial puffiness, sinus congestion & fluid retention
• Hormonal balancing & oedema
• Recovery after injury
• Pre and post-surgery
• Swelling or discomfort associated with lymphedema
• Immune system support & inflammation reduction
• Overall relaxation & stress relief

Unlike traditional massage, MLD employs light, rhythmic movements that encourage your body’s natural healing processes. This approach is not only deeply relaxing but also clinically effective. MLD is widely used in the management of lymphoedema, to aid pre- and post-surgical recovery (by reducing swelling, bruising, and healing time), and as supportive care for a range of chronic conditions where lymphatic function may be compromised.

Research indicates that MLD can significantly reduce post-surgical swelling. For instance, a study found that MLD led to a 33.8% mean reduction in post-operative oedema compared to 22.0% in the standard treatment group, highlighting its efficacy in enhancing recovery outcomes.

Many of our clients describe MLD as both calming and transformative, leaving them feeling lighter, more energised, and balanced.

If you'd like to experience these benefits, we invite you to our serene and nurturing space, where each treatment is tailored to your individual needs.
