(MLD) Manual Lymphatic Drainage

60min $140

($30 Deposit Required)

Support your body's natural healing and recovery.

​

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining fluid balance, supporting immune function, and removing waste products from the body's tissues. When the lymphatic system becomes overloaded, damaged, or impaired due to surgery, injury, illness, cancer treatment, or chronic health conditions, fluid can accumulate within the tissues, resulting in swelling, heaviness, discomfort, and reduced mobility.

 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle treatment that uses precise, rhythmic movements to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid through the body's lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes. Unlike traditional massage, MLD works directly with the lymphatic system rather than the muscles, helping to encourage the natural movement and drainage of excess fluid from affected areas.

 

MLD is commonly recommended following surgery, particularly procedures involving lymph node removal, cosmetic surgery, orthopaedic surgery, and cancer treatments such as radiation therapy. It may also benefit individuals experiencing lymphoedema, lipoedema, chronic swelling, fluid retention, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and other conditions affecting lymphatic function.

 

By improving lymphatic circulation, MLD can help reduce swelling, support tissue healing, improve comfort, enhance mobility, and assist the body's natural detoxification processes. Many clients report feeling lighter, less congested, and more comfortable following treatment.

 

Our qualified therapists tailor each treatment to your individual presentation, medical history, and treatment goals. Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or seeking support for fluid retention and swelling, MLD provides a gentle, evidence-informed approach to supporting your body's natural balance and recovery.

 

Due to the popularity and specialised nature of this treatment, a $30 deposit is required to secure your booking. This amount is deducted from your treatment cost on the day of your appointment.

Post-surgical Recovery Massage

60min $140

Gentle care to ease swelling, support healing.

 

Post-Surgical Recovery Massage is a gentle, specialised treatment designed to support recovery following cosmetic and reconstructive procedures such as liposuction, tummy tucks, breast surgery, facelifts, and body contouring procedures.

Using specialised Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) techniques, treatment helps encourage the movement of excess fluid away from the surgical area, reducing swelling, bruising, congestion, and feelings of tightness. Improved lymphatic flow and circulation can support tissue oxygenation, comfort, and the body's natural healing processes.

As healing progresses, treatment may also help minimise scar tissue adhesions, improve tissue mobility, and support healthy fascia and connective tissue recovery. By reducing fluid build-up and supporting tissue repair, Post-Surgical Recovery Massage can assist in achieving the best possible recovery and aesthetic outcomes.

Every treatment is tailored to your procedure, stage of healing, and surgeon's recommendations, providing a safe and supportive approach to post-operative recovery.

Oncology Massage (MLD)

60min $140 

Compassionate support throughout your cancer journey.

​

Oncology Massage is a specialised, evidence-informed therapy designed to safely support individuals during cancer treatment, recovery, and survivorship. Whether you are undergoing chemotherapy, radiation therapy, surgery, immunotherapy, or palliative care, each treatment is carefully adapted to your individual needs.

Using gentle, modified techniques and a thorough understanding of cancer pathology, lymphatic function, treatment side effects, and surgical considerations, Oncology Massage provides a safe and clinically appropriate approach to massage therapy. Unlike traditional massage, pressure, positioning, and techniques are adjusted to accommodate the physical changes associated with cancer and its treatment.

Cancer and its treatments can contribute to fatigue, pain, anxiety, nausea, sleep disturbances, swelling, and muscle tension. Oncology Massage aims to help manage these symptoms by promoting relaxation, improving comfort, calming the nervous system, and supporting overall wellbeing and quality of life.

Every session is tailored to your medical history, current treatment plan, symptoms, and energy levels, providing a nurturing and supportive environment that honours the body's resilience and need for care throughout the cancer journey.

Lymphoedema (MLD)

60min $140

Reduce swelling. Improve comfort. Support lymphatic function.

​

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition caused by a compromised lymphatic system, resulting in the accumulation of lymphatic fluid within the tissues. Symptoms may include swelling, heaviness, tightness, discomfort, reduced mobility, and an increased risk of infection.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised treatment that uses gentle, rhythmic techniques to stimulate lymphatic flow and encourage fluid movement towards healthy, functioning lymph nodes. By supporting the body's natural drainage pathways, MLD can help reduce swelling, improve comfort, enhance mobility, and promote healthier tissue function.

MLD is widely recognised as an important component of lymphoedema management and is often used alongside compression garments, exercise, and medical care. Regular treatment may help reduce fluid build-up, improve quality of life, and support long-term symptom management.

Every treatment is tailored to your individual presentation and stage of lymphoedema, providing a safe, supportive, and evidence-informed approach to managing your condition.

Facial Sculpting (MLD)

60min $140

Lift, sculpt, and reduce facial puffiness naturally.

​

Facial Lifting & Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a specialised treatment designed to reduce facial puffiness, improve circulation, and enhance the natural contours of the face. Using a combination of gentle lymphatic drainage techniques, facial sculpting massage, and targeted lifting movements, this treatment helps encourage the removal of excess fluid while stimulating healthy blood flow to the skin and underlying tissues.

Fluid retention, stress, poor sleep, hormonal changes, allergies, and surgery can all contribute to facial swelling, dullness, and a tired appearance. By stimulating the lymphatic system and encouraging drainage through the face, neck, and décolletage, this treatment can help reduce puffiness around the eyes, jawline, cheeks, and neck while promoting a more refreshed and defined appearance.

The lifting techniques work with the facial muscles and fascia to release tension, improve tissue mobility, and support natural facial tone. Many clients report improved skin radiance, reduced facial tension, enhanced jawline definition, and a noticeable feeling of lightness and rejuvenation following treatment.

This treatment is ideal for those seeking a natural, non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation, post-surgical facial recovery, puffiness reduction, and overall skin and lymphatic health.

Lipoedema (MLD)

60min $140

Reduce heaviness. Improve comfort. Support your body's natural drainage.

 

Lipoedema is a chronic condition that commonly affects the legs, hips, buttocks, and sometimes the arms. Many women experience pain, tenderness, swelling, heaviness, easy bruising, and reduced mobility. Despite healthy eating and exercise, the affected tissue is often resistant to traditional weight-loss approaches, which can be frustrating and challenging.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle therapy that supports the lymphatic system and helps reduce fluid congestion within the tissues. By encouraging lymphatic flow and improving circulation, MLD may help reduce swelling, feelings of heaviness, discomfort, and tissue sensitivity while improving overall comfort and mobility.

While MLD is not a cure for lipoedema, it is widely recognised as an important part of long-term symptom management. Many clients report feeling lighter, more comfortable, and moving more freely following treatment.

Cellulite (MLD)

60min $140

Improve circulation. Reduce fluid retention. Support smoother-looking skin.

​

Cellulite affects up to 90% of women and occurs when fibrous connective tissue beneath the skin creates a dimpled or uneven appearance. While cellulite is completely normal, factors such as fluid retention, reduced circulation, hormonal changes, and connective tissue restrictions can make its appearance more noticeable.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised treatment designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the movement of excess fluid from the tissues. By improving lymphatic flow and circulation, MLD can help reduce fluid retention, tissue congestion, and swelling that may contribute to the appearance of cellulite.

Regular treatment may help improve skin texture, reduce feelings of heaviness, support healthy circulation, and enhance overall tissue health. MLD also promotes relaxation and can be an effective complement to exercise, healthy nutrition, compression therapy, and other body contouring treatments.

While MLD does not permanently eliminate cellulite, many clients notice smoother-looking skin, reduced puffiness, and improved comfort following a course of treatment. Every session is tailored to your individual needs, providing a safe and natural approach to supporting healthy skin and lymphatic function.
