Manual lymphatic drainage is a very specific technique assisting our body to refresh and rejuvenate its fluid, enabling it to establish resistance to all types of stress that our systems are placed under by stimulating the immune system. It is not a muscular massage, but essentially works above the muscle fascia as 70% of the lymphatic fluid is found here. This type of massage stimulates fluid circulation and elimination to assist with detoxification. It encourages the lymphatic system to absorb and transport lymph more effectively, stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system via the relaxation effect, and reduces pain by sedating the sensory nerve endings.
Lymph drainage can be beneficial for the following:
- Pre/post surgery
- Edemas and other post traumatic conditions
- Lymphoedema (both primary & secondary)
- Sinusitis/Hayfever
- Breast Surgery (segmental, simple or total)

Visceral Manipulation is used to locate and solve problems throughout the body. It encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the functioning of your organs, dissipate the negative effects of stress, enhance mobility of the musculoskeletal system through the connective tissue attachments, and influence general metabolism. This is performed by specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. These gentle manipulations can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.
