  1. What is RLD ( Reflexology Lymph drainage )?

    Posted on

     2nd green

    RLD is an evidence based, award winning Reflexology treatment which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic drainage system via reflexes on the feet. This unique system was created by Sally Kay while working in cancer care and she was the Winner of 2019 National Lymphedema Network Award for Outstanding Contribution to Lymphology

    Sally created the system based on the anatomy,physiology and function of the lymphatic system and the principle of Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) massage.

    RLD has been shown to assist with the management of secondary Lymphoedema occurring from the treatment of Breast Cancer however it has also been shown to help with primary Lymphoedema in some cases. Over a period of time, there can be a significant reduction of fluid out of the affected limb and thus a reduction of further fluid build-up.

    Published research shows the results of RLD performed on clients are ‘highly significant’.

    I am pleased to have completed my training in RLD with Sally and am on the register of approved RLD practitioners.

    I am now offering this treatment as a ‘stand alone’ sequence  or added to other reflexology treatments.

    WHAT OTHER CONDITIONS CAN IT SUPPORT?

    As with Manual Lymphatic Drainage, RLD may also be beneficial to people who have the following conditions: Arthritis,Chronic fatigue,Sinus problems, Asthma, Fibromyalgia, Migraines, Headaches,ME & Premenstrual Syndrome

    What Clients say…
