Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage In Hurst, Reading
This is an extremely gentle but powerful treatment which cleanses the body from waste products such as toxins, excess water retention, bacteria and chemicals. Lymphatic massage is recommended by clinicians after cosmetic procedures to reduce swelling and promote healing
Our sedentary lifestyles, processed foods, operations and pre existing medical conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular ailments can all compromise our lymphatic systems. The lymphatic system becomes over loaded and sluggish. This can lead to many issues including oedema ( water retention and swollen limbs) skin disorders, digestive issues, lack of energy, headaches, stress . Manual lymphatic drainage is known to be helpful post surgery, particularly post mastectomy to reduce oedema, fibrosis and relieve pain.
This treatment can hep clear skin disorders including rosacea, reduce coughs, colds and infections, improve energy levels , help recovery from glandular fever, ME, respiratory ailments and migraines
If you suffer from chronic fatigue, are post cancer or feel that you need a body cleanse, this incredibly relaxing therapy could be the treatment for you.
Treatment cost is £55. This can be from 30 – 60 minutes depending on your medical history.
