MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

A well functioning lymphatic system contributes to healthy body tissue and plays an important part in the body’s immune responses.

MLD is gaining acceptance as a specialist gentle treatment designed to improve functioning of the lymphatic system; helping to relieve fluid congestion such as swollen ankle, tired puffy eyes and swollen legs due to pregnancy. MLD also improves many chronic conditions, for example sinusitis, roseacea, rheumatoid arthritis, to list a few.

In the UK MLD is continuing to be more widely accepted as an important component in the treatment and maintenance of lymphoedema and lipoedema, and assists in conditions arising from venous insufficiency. Lymphoedema may occur following damage to the lymphatic system due to cancer, radiotherapy, surgery, fibrosis, infection, injury or congenital abnormalities. It is a collection of protein-rich fluid, which presents itself as a swelling in the soft tissues below the skin, resulting in the malfunction of drainage by the lymphatic channels. There are emerging surgeries to repair damaged lymphatics, however, using MLD therapy the lymph fluid from a congested swollen area of the body can be directed to an area where the lymphatics are working.

MLD is also deeply relaxing and promotes the healing of fractures, torn ligaments, sprains, lessens pain and may strengthen the immune system as part of "detox" treatment. MLD not only promotes healing of wounds and burns and improves the appearance of old scars, but also can be used to speed healing after cosmetic surgery and vaser treatments.

During the 1930's the innovative Danish physical therapist Dr. Emil Vodder created a unique set of movements which he successfully used to clear chronic catarrh and facial acne. After intensively studying what was then known as the lymphatic system he devised treatments for the whole body. He concludes that his technique, which he termed Manual Lymph drainage, could be applied to almost any condition, because of the important role the lymphatic system plays in our bodies. Since Dr Vodder's pioneering work, modern research has supplied us with the answers of how his method so effectively influences both the lymphatic and nervous system. As a result, MLD has spread worldwide and has become a popular treatment in many European hospitals and Spas.

SHARON WHEELER's SCARWORK & BONEWORK

ScarWork is a light-touch manual therapy, using hands directly on the surface of the skin without the aid of lubricants or medical devices, to address tissue damage associated with scarring, including fibrosis, adhesions, and contracture, resulting from surgery or trauma. While numerous therapies deal with pain and dysfunction related to tissue damage associated with daily living or activity, ScarWork is specifically designed to address the changed elastin and collagen associated with pathological scarring. Sharon Wheeler, an American therapist, developed these techniques over the last 40 years and now teaches around the world. ScarWork treatment is a gentle therapy, treatment is always given within the client's comfort levels.

BoneWork includes “Bone Change” and “Bone Rolling”. The techniques respect the fact that bones are not hard and fixed but rather flexible and movable. These techniques are not Bone manipulations (like chiropractic adjustments) but techniques to unwind and unhook bones/joints from their network of fascial patterns.
