Manual Lymphatic Drainage at Keep Moving Therapy fin Cheltenham
Updated: Jun 4
At Keep Moving Therapy, we provide Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) through trained therapists who focus on personalized care. Each session is tailored to meet your unique needs. Our goal is to support your body’s natural processes in a safe and gentle way.
Understanding Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized massage technique. It encourages the movement of lymph fluids in the body. This helps reduce swelling, puffiness, and fluid retention. It can also aid in recovery after surgery or injury.
Benefits of MLD
There are many benefits to receiving MLD. Here are some key advantages:
Reduces Swelling: MLD is effective in minimizing swelling caused by various conditions.
Enhances Recovery: It supports healing after surgery or injury.
Promotes Relaxation: The gentle nature of MLD can help you feel more relaxed and at ease.
Boosts Immune Function: By stimulating lymphatic flow, MLD can enhance your immune system.
If you are experiencing swelling, puffiness, or fluid retention, MLD at Keep Moving Therapy can provide the professional, relaxing support your body needs.
Preparing for Your Session
Before your MLD session, it’s important to prepare. Here are some tips:
Consult Your GP: If you are a post-surgery client, ensure you have clearance from your GP or surgeon before booking.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before your appointment to help facilitate lymphatic flow.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Loose-fitting clothes can help you relax during the session.
What to Expect During Your Session
During your MLD session, you can expect a calm and soothing environment. The therapist will use gentle, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymphatic flow. You may feel relaxed and even sleepy during the treatment.
Aftercare Tips
After your session, consider these aftercare tips:
Drink Water: Staying hydrated helps flush out toxins released during the massage.
Rest: Allow your body time to recover and process the treatment.
Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how you feel in the days following your session.
