Therapies offered
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) using the Casley Smith Method is a gentle, structured treatment designed to support the movement and drainage of lymph fluid. It uses a systematic approach to clearing and stimulating the lymphatic drainage pathways through specific hand movements, gentle effleurage strokes and breathing exercises.
MLD is performed using light, controlled pressure in a slow, rhythmic manner. The treatment is adapted to the individual and may be used as part of a wider lymphoedema management plan.
MLD is beneficial for a number of conditions other than Lymphoedema and Lipoedema including but not limited#
Post surgical swelling
Post C-section inflammation
Endometriosis
Fibromyalgia
Long Covid
Neuropathy relief
General Relaxation
Immune support by encouraging the efficient circulation of immune cells.
Complete Decongestive Therapy
A combination of the following treatments
Compression bandaging – helps support the movement of lymph fluid out of the affected area and reduces the risk of further fluid build-up. It works alongside exercise to improve lymphatic drainage.
Skin care – helps keep the skin healthy and intact, reducing the risk of skin damage and infection.
Exercise – gentle, regular movement uses the muscles in the affected limb to help encourage lymph fluid to move through the lymphatic system.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)-Manual Lymphatic Drainage preformed at regular intervals during an intensive treatment phase (2 to 4 weeks)
Scar Therapy
Scar therapy uses specialised massage and fascial release techniques to help soften scar tissue and improve the movement and flexibility of the skin and surrounding tissues. It may help reduce discomfort, tightness and altered sensation, including numbness, around scars following surgery or injury. By improving tissue mobility, scar therapy can support overall tissue function and movement.
Scar therapy can be applied to new or historic scars and can benefit
Post Surgery for cancer, trauma, or routine procedures
Post C-Section
Burn Scars
Deep Oscillation® Therapy
Deep Oscillation® is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses electrostatic attraction and friction to create therapeutic oscillations within the tissues. These gentle oscillations can reach up to 8 cm beneath the skin, working through the skin, connective tissue, fatty tissue, muscles, and blood and lymphatic vessels.
The treatment is designed to have a gentle, deep-acting effect on the tissues and may be used to support lymphatic drainage, tissue mobility and recovery.
