Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage Northamptonshire


The Lymphatic System

Shirley’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Northamptonshire offers a solution for many ailments or discomforts that are impacting the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is essential for the balance of fluid in our bodies, collecting and circulating excess fluid, absorbing fatty acids from the digestive system and regulating our immune systems.

The lymphatic system is formed by lymph vessels, nodes and other tissues throughout our bodies. There are estimated to be 600 lymph nodes throughout the human body, with the most prevalent being in the armpits, groin and neck. The lymphatic system drains and purifies excess fluid and balances the amount of fluids circulating in your body. When something disrupts the lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in the tissues, most commonly your arms and legs and as a result, swelling forms.


Shirley’s Lymphatic Drainage Massage Northamptonshire

Shirley’s Lymphatic Drainage in Northamptonshire offers a unique and specialised manual lymphatic drainage service. My service is designed to assist those suffering from lymphoedema, an uncomfortable condition that causes swelling and discomfort. With my help and experience through years of training, I can offer relief from the pain associated with the condition.

Shirley’s manual lymphatic drainage massage in Northamptonshire is a gentle, non-invasive technique that helps to reduce the swelling partnered with lymphoedema. The massage helps to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourages the body to naturally move waste and toxins away from the affected area. As a result, the swelling is reduced and the pain alleviated. Manual lymphatic drainage for chronic conditions is more than just a massage technique; it is a holistic approach to wellness. My manual lymphatic drainage service in Northampton offers a specific approach to treating chronic conditions.

My Manual Lymphatic drainage therapies are effective for various diseases, including chronic sinusitis, migraines, tinnitus, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia. My treatment can reduce inflammation, discomfort, and congestion by increasing lymphatic function and improving your lymphatic function.


The MLD Process

Shirley’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage in Northamptonshire presents four main strokes: stationary circles, scoop technique, pump technique and rotary technique. The skin is stretched in specific directions according to lymph flow using hand movements to promote variations in interstitial pressure without the use of oils. Slow repetitive movements are used which incorporate a resting phase allowing the skin to return to its original position. MLD is applied to the unaffected areas first, making it possible for the fluid to move out of the affected area or ‘decongest’ the region.

  • Lymphoedema treatment in conjunction with skin care, bandaging and exercises (DLT)
