Lymphatic Drainage Treatments
Boost Your Health with Manual Lymphatic Drainage & The EMMETT Technique
Manual Lymphatic Treatments are specialised therapeutic techniques designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the natural drainage of lymph fluid from tissues. Unlike traditional massage, which focuses primarily on muscles, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) targets the lymphatic vessels and nodes to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and enhance overall health. It is only performed by a qualified therapist who has completed the correct training.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Treatment
During an MLD session, our trained therapists use light, rhythmic strokes and gentle pressure to stimulate the lymphatic system. This encourages the removal of toxins, waste products, and excess fluid from tissues, helping to reduce inflammation and support immune function.
Key Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD):
✅ Reduces Swelling and Inflammation – MLD helps alleviate oedema by promoting the drainage of excess fluid, reducing discomfort and puffiness.
✅ Boosts Immune Function – Stimulating lymphatic flow strengthens the body’s ability to fight off infections and improve overall immunity.
✅ Detoxification – MLD supports the removal of toxins and waste products, enhancing cellular health and overall detoxification.
✅ Promotes Wound Healing – By improving circulation and reducing inflammation, MLD accelerates the delivery of nutrients to injured tissues.
✅ Relieves Chronic Conditions – MLD can help manage symptoms of fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and sinus congestion by reducing inflammation and improving lymph flow.
✅ Supports Post-Surgical Recovery – MLD reduces swelling, bruising, and pain after surgery, promoting faster recovery and better outcomes.
✅ Manages Lymphedema – MLD is a key treatment for lymphedema, improving lymphatic function and reducing fluid buildup.
✅ Enhances Skin Health – MLD reduces fluid retention and boosts circulation, improving skin texture and appearance.
✅ Reduces Stress and Promotes Relaxation – Gentle, soothing techniques help reduce stress levels and promote a sense of calm.
✅ Improves Overall Wellness – Regular MLD sessions can enhance energy levels, improve sleep, and promote a sense of vitality.
The EMMETT Technique Lymphatic Sequence
The EMMETT Technique lymphatic sequence is a specialised, non-invasive treatment developed by Ross Emmett. This technique uses gentle pressure on key EMMETT points to stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce swelling, inflammation, and congestion.
How It Works:
🔹 A practitioner applies light fingertip pressure to targeted points along lymphatic pathways.
🔹 The sequence includes gentle touches and holds on areas such as the neck, shoulders, arms, abdomen, and legs.
🔹 This process releases tension and restrictions, allowing lymphatic fluid to flow more efficiently toward the lymph nodes for processing.
Benefits of the EMMETT Technique:
✔️ Reduces swelling and inflammation
✔️ Improves lymphatic flow and circulation
✔️ Enhances immune function and detoxification
✔️ Supports recovery from surgery and injury
✔️ Promotes relaxation and stress relief
