http://www.mlduk.org.uk/ are an organisation that train manual lymphatic drainage therapists. When a therapist qualifies with them to give treatment to a client, they add you to their online directory. If you look at their website, you will probably notice that they limit the people who do their training to a few.

And so, to be listed on http://www.mlduk.org.uk/ actually only means that you have completed your training with one of their academies, not that you are any more or less qualified than the people registered in their directory.

As we didn’t do our training with http://www.mlduk.org.uk/ they won’t list us on their site. But, this doesn’t account for the excellent training we completed, and our experience.

The same training background

Our practitioners treatment protocol is based on the same standards. http://www.mlduk.org.uk/courses-vodder-method/ states that these are the highest standards, and we agree. Our training is through the Vodder, Casley-Smith, Földi and LTA Fill & Flush schools accredited teachers.

So whilst we have completed a course to the standard and of the same research background plus amazing specialised massage advanced qualifications, because we don’t have their specific form of certification, issued by them, then they won’t accept us on their membership. We’ve gone through such rigid assessment to be the physical aftercare arm for several London cosmetic surgeons, they automatically send their patients to us for post op care. And yet, because we completed training by a different, leading approved training provider, they won’t add us to their practitioner directory list.

Here’s a quick fire download on what manual lymphatic drainage is:

It’s a gentle rhythmic pumping of the fluid in your body which stimulates lymph vessels flow to help drain waste substances out of your system (lymphatic nodes) and reduce lymphoedema. Surgery or other conditions, such as cancer, can cause this swelling, but the techniques are the same and just adapted to and individuals condition when we see you.

Benefits of MLD

Benefits of MLD apply to both chronic and acute conditions.

The removal of this lymph waste leads to many benefits, you can read about this in several articles we have published. Typically, you’re looking at faster healing, the ability to remain more mobile and as we’re removing toxins that would otherwise hang around this is also a simple way to avoid infection.

In addition, if you have undergone a cosmetic procedure including vaser liposuction, this will add to the overall smooth effect of your skin tone and we also have great results with our clients needing to wear their compression garments for longer if they have booked in and are undertaking regular visits.

You will always receive treatment across your whole body as if we just do one area the excess will simply hold place in another part of your body. And that doesn’t satisfy anyone’s need to vital relief.
