Manual Lymphatic Drainage
I am unable to treat anyone suffering from Lymphoedema.
I use the Vodder style of MLD.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses rhythmic skin pumping in a predetermined direction to improve lymph flow.
The lymphatic system plays a huge role in our immunity. If lymph builds up in an area the lymphatic system becomes stagnant and toxic.
Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage:
-
aid the clearing of waste and toxins within the body
-
aid nutrient transportation
-
increase metabolic efficiency
-
assist with weight reduction from carrying excess water
-
can help reduce tension and stress by calming the parasympathetic nervous system
Conditions that may benefit from Manual Lymphatic Drainage:
-
cleanse the body of waste products and toxins
-
fluid retention, swelling (oedema)
-
migraines
-
stress & tension
-
pre & post op surgery
-
improve circulation
-
fibromyalgia
Myofascial Cupping
Myofascial Cupping (cupping or dry cupping as it is also known) is one of the oldest forms of Eastern alternative treatments. It uses plastic cups to create a suction in area's of musculoskeletal tension which are located with massage techniques. The cups can either glide across the skin surface pulling the tissue into the cup as it moves or can remain in one place for a short period of time. If there are left stationary then this can cause red/purple marks (you may have seen swimmers and other athletes with these marks - they will disappear after a few days).
Benefits of Myofascial Cupping:
-
can help ease muscle tension
-
can help improve circulation
-
can help improve range of movement
