Reflexology Lymph Drainage comes to Hands 4 Wellbeing.
This award winning reflexology technique focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. It is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc(Hons), whilst working in Cancer Care. The results appear to support the theory of reflexology.
More information on this new technique can be found at www.reflexologylymphdrainage.co.uk.
Lymphatic Drainage massage (MLD) is used to treat conditions other than Lymphoedema and RLD (Reflex Lymph Drainage) may be used similarly. MLD may be useful with the following conditions:
Results are visible after your first treatment but research has shown a minimum of 3/4 sessions are suggested so that results last longer and that treatments are then recommended on a regular basis that suits your body.
This technique it amazing. We can offer appointments at our regular clinic at Blurton Hub in Blurton, West End Village in Stoke or private appointment. Booking appointments is essential, please call us to arrange or if you require any further information.
