Lymphatic Drainage
When fluid builds up in the tissues, you may notice swelling, heaviness or a feeling of tightness. Manual lymphatic drainage uses slow, rhythmic movements and light pressure to encourage the movement of lymph fluid and support your body’s natural drainage processes.
What happens during an Lymphatic Drainage appointment?
Our clinicians (Caitlin, Li & Sam) will take time to listen and ask a few easy questions about you. Then they will gently check how you move, conducting a few simple tests.
After that, they’ll use gentle rhythmical treatments to encourage fluid drainage, decrease swelling and speed up the bodies recovery process.

What to expect from treatment
If you’ve seen a lymphatic drainage practitioner before, some of the treatment may feel familiar. We use gentle massage, and soft rhythmical movements to help drain excess fluid in the body.
If you have any questions throughout your treatment, our clinicians are always happy to explain every technique they recommend and answer any questions you may have.
Lymphatic Drainage training & governance
Lymphatic Drainage is not statutorily regulated as a distinct medical profession in the UK. However, for your peace of mind all of our lymphatic drainage practitioners hold a Physiotherapy or Osteopathy degree alongside their lymphatic work. This maintains high quality of practice, excellent patient safety and an outstanding consultation process.
