Mld
How can it help ?
Medical or Manual lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a very gentle skin stretching and massage technique designed to move the skin and stimulate the lymphatic vessels which carry substances vital to the bodies defences and removes waste products. The aim of MLD is to move fluid to an area where it can flow more freely. Helping break up any fibrosis, increasing range of motion and lessening limb size.
If you have NEVER had Mld before you may require an intensive course prior to you controlling your condition at home with my help. This can include daily treatments for up to 2 weeks with bandaging or wrapping on. The aim of this intensive treatment is to try and decrease the size of your limb as much as possible.
To be able to control your condition at home you will need to wear compression garments and do SLD ( self lymphatic drainage ) daily.
Measuring and garment fitting also provided, an essential part of Lymphodema and Lipoedema managment.
Self management

It is imperative that you the patient play your part at home to gain the best possible outcome. Many patients come for top up sessions, how fequently will depend on your own personal situation.
Deep Oscillation
How the treatment can help you ?
Deep Oscillation is characterised by a intermittent electrostatic field, which is built up between my hands and your tissues. It creates low frequencies of gentle electrostatic impulses that kneed your skins tissues by attracting and releasing it between 5 and 250 times a second.
It feels very relaxing with a slight vibration and it can reach between 8-12 cms into your body gently pulling and releasing all layers between your skin and your muscles.
The treatment is very safe and does not produce heat, for example it can be used hours after an injury or the day after surgery or on wounds. It enhances and multiplies the benefits of Mld.
Cosmetic Surgery Recovery
How can the treatments help you?
By using a powerful combination of Mld and Deep Oscillation it encourages the lymph to drain away from the treated area whereby more nutrients can reach the cells which promotes cell regeneration, retraction and cell renewal. Giving you a quicker reduction on swelling, bruising and pain, bringing about a speedier recovery and helping you see your results faster.
The treatment is so gentle it is advised to start treatment the day after your surgery which will help maximise your recovery time and results.
How many sessions will I need ?
A course of 3 -10 sessions will be needed depending on procedure type/surgeons requirements to be given on consecutive days starting from day 1 - 3 post operation.
A pre operation session is often recommended 24-48 hours prior to surgery especially when doing Vasor Liposuction as this helps to dissipate and soften the fat optimising the Liposuction.
