Lymphatic Drainage Treatment (RLD)
A specialised Reflexology technique to support lymphatic wellbeing
The lymphatic system plays an important role in fluid balance, immune function and the removal of waste products from body tissues.
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) is a specialised technique developed by Sally Kay, using specific reflex points on the feet to encourage lymphatic activity.
Through a precise sequence of gentle movements and pressure techniques, RLD aims to stimulate lymphatic responses and support the body's natural fluid drainage processes.
It is particularly recognised for its application in supporting people with lymphoedema and lymphatic swelling.
Who may benefit from RLD?
Everybody needs to have a healthy and efficient lymphatic system, but RLD may be specifically indicated for people experiencing:
Lymphoedema and fluid retention.
Swelling following surgery or cancer treatment.
A feeling of heaviness or discomfort associated with swelling.
Certain conditions affecting lymphatic circulation.
Treatment is tailored to individual needs and suitability is assessed before starting. RLD can complement, but does not replace, prescribed lymphoedema management or medical care.
Supporting your lymphatic system also includes simple self-care practices:
keeping hydrated, regular movement, deep breathing and dry skin brushing, all help to keep lymph flowing naturally.
