REFLEXOLOGY LYMPH DRAINAGE (RLD)
Helping to move excess fluid, reduce swelling and improve wellbeing
I am an approved Reflexology Lymph Drainage practitioner (RLD).
RLD is an award winning reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body and has been shown to help reduce swelling, which in turn, can visually reduce volume on the affected limb/s. It is a very gentle, relaxing and enjoyable technique and, by working only on the feet, reduces the need for the client to undress
What is Lymphoedema?
Lymphoedema is defined as tissue swelling due to the failure of lymph drainage. Lymphoedema can occur due to genetic factors (primary) or damage to the lymphatic system (secondary), often related to cancer or its treatment. RLD has been proven to reduce swelling in the limbs .
RLD is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay whilst working in Cancer Care. It was originally used to support people going through cancer care and those who develop lymphoedema but people receiving the treatment have found that it helps in many other areas.
Lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) is also used to treat many conditions including auto-immune disorders. Reflexology Lymph Drainage may be used similarly so could be useful with the following conditions:
•Arthritis
•Asthma
