This month I have worked with one of the UK’s leading MLD training schools to deepen my clinical knowledge of post-operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

I’m pleased to announce that Wellness Therapies will very soon be offering more than massage — introducing a specialist Prehabilitation and Enhanced Recovery service for clients undergoing Cosmetic Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Cancer Surgery and Musculoskeletal Surgery.

My aim is to support clients throughout their surgical journey — not simply after surgery.

This includes helping clients understand how they can prepare their body for surgery, and providing appropriately adapted Manual Lymphatic Drainage during the recovery process, alongside the care and advice provided by their surgeon and medical team.

Post-operative recovery is a complex process. Surgery intentionally creates controlled tissue trauma, triggering inflammation, swelling and a series of physiological healing responses. The lymphatic system plays an important role in managing fluid and supporting the body's normal recovery processes.

My training has allowed me to develop a much deeper understanding of lymphatic anatomy and physiology, surgical changes to the tissues, contraindications, wound healing and how MLD needs to be adapted according to the individual procedure and stage of recovery.

I’m particularly passionate about bringing together evidence-informed practice, hands-on therapy and education, so that clients understand what is happening in their body rather than simply being told to "get lymphatic drainage."

More details about the new service, treatment pathways and how to work with me before and after surgery will be coming very soon.

Wellness Therapies is evolving — and I'm incredibly excited about where we're going.

My 2nd business value for Wellness Therapies is 'Beauty in Balance'. I will only ever meet my clients exactly where they are.

I've had a few new followers on my social media recently so I thought I would talk a bit more about my business values and what inspires me in my work.

I have two business values that I work by and the one I want to share today is Mind Body Connection. There is so much I can say regarding this topic in body work and soft tissue therapy and I intend to make more content on it going forward.

I have to thank Leoni .co for bringing my values to life when she did my business branding at the start of Wellness Therapies. She knew me better than I knew myself at the time!

Pregnancy Massage and Lymphatic Drainage available now.
This treatment is for women in their 2nd and 3rd trimester and has many benefits not only to relieve aches and pains but to help mamas-to-be, to be calm, relaxed and more confident before giving birth. (From a peer-reviewed study believe it or not!).

Pressure doesn't have to be light, you can have a good deep-tissue Sports Massage or remedial work if you would like that.

Regarding Lymphatic Drainage, any pregnancy related edema should be brought to the attention of your midwife before booking in with me.

Why I don't offer 'one area' sessions for Lymphatic Drainage. For example, stomach or legs only.

The Lymphatic system is one whole network, so if we have blockages or stagnation in one area, that excess fluid needs to be able to move through the system to get back to the terminus and either leave the body or go back into the blood stream.

The best way to describe it is if you're at a standstill on a sliproad coming onto the A1 (which happens often!), you're not getting off that slip road until the traffic further down the A1 is moving freely.

Lymphatic drainage sessions can be targeted but only after a few consecutive treatments when the clients Lymphatic system is presenting with effective results from full body sessions. One you understand the anatomy of the Lymphatic system, it's easier to understand that going straight to one area in the first session is not going to be effective.

The caveat to this however....is the face. And the results present much quicker than than any other part of the body I have seen. I think this is because the Lymph drains downwards, having gravity on its side at all times.
