What is RLD ( Reflexology Lymph drainage )?
Posted on
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…
“I am amazed at the results and will continue without a doubt the treatment, which I thoroughly enjoy, as it’s so relaxing .During the final treatment I felt a whoosh coming from my feet up my legs and more strongly in my trunk as though a wave was coming through my body.” C.HB
