LYMPHATIC MASSAGE

The lymphatic system carries fluid around our bodies helping to release unwanted toxins, when this system becomes blocked it can lead to problems such as water retention, cellulite, bloating, skin problems and the normal symptoms of toxicity such as headaches and low energy. It is important for our bodies overall well-being that this important part of our bodies is kept flowing.

Here at Simply Healing we offer various types of Lymphatic Massage to suit all ages, skin types and to treat more specific problems. These massages including the highly specialised Vodder Technique (please see the Vodder Page) as well as the vigorous Lymphatic Brushing Massage and the tried and tested MLD Massage.

LYMPHATIC BRUSHING MASSAGE

This massage energises as well as detoxifies the system.

It combines dry skin brushing which stimulates the lymphatic system and blood circulation, with a massage using a specialist blend of aromatherapy oils.

The therapist starts the treatment by dry brushing your body all over, always working towards the heart to get the lymph moving. This is followed by a specialised massage using a diuretic blend of aromatherapy oils which together with the brushing boosts the detox process, and encourages toxins to be flushed from your system.

MLD MASSAGE

This is a gentle pumping massage to stimulate the lymphatic system, to clear blockages and to keep the lymphatic system flowing, it can be tailored to stimulate particular areas of the body where there are obvious signs of a blockage, such as bloating or fluid retention, or incorporate the whole body to stimulate the entire lymphatic system.

This type of massage is also great for people recovering from serious illness and is also beneficial in the recovery from sports related injuries.
