rEFLEXOLOGY LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
At Lady Lymph, we offer Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD), a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses targeted pressure on specific reflex points in the feet to stimulate lymphatic circulation.
This technique helps reduce swelling, alleviate pain, and boost the overall function of the lymphatic system. Combined with Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), RLD enhances detoxification, promotes healing, and leaves you feeling rejuvenated.
Ideal for those dealing with lymphatic disorders, such as lymphedema and lipedema, or anyone seeking a natural way to enhance their wellness.
What is Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD)?
Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) is an advanced and research-based reflexology technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system through specific reflex points on the feet. Originally pioneered by Sally Kay at Cardiff Metropolitan University, this method mimics the effects of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.
RLD was initially developed to support patients with secondary lymphedema following breast cancer treatment. However, it has since shown benefits for a range of conditions related to lymphatic congestion, such as lipedema, post-surgical swelling, chronic fatigue, and inflammatory disorders.
How can RLD help you?
RLD has been shown to provide significant improvements in:
✔ Reduction of swelling and fluid retention
✔ Pain relief and reduced discomfort
✔ Improved mobility and flexibility
✔ Enhanced detoxification and immune support
✔ Increased sense of well-being and relaxation
Can Reflexology on the Feet Really Reduce Swelling Elsewhere?
Yes! Clinical studies, including research funded by Tenovus Cancer Care, have demonstrated that 4 sessions of RLD can lead to a significant reduction in limb swelling, along with improvements in mobility, pain levels, and overall well-being.
Because the treatment is applied to the feet, rather than directly on affected areas, it is a gentle and non-invasive alternative to MLD, particularly beneficial for individuals who may find traditional lymphatic massage uncomfortable.
What Happens During a Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage Session?
At Lady Lymph, your RLD treatment includes:
1️⃣ A detailed consultation – We discuss your medical history and any concerns related to your lymphatic health.
2️⃣ Gentle reflexology techniques – While you relax in a comfortable recliner, precise pressure is applied to specific reflex points on your feet that correspond to the lymphatic system.
3️⃣ A soothing and balancing experience – The session is deeply relaxing, supporting both physical and emotional well-being.
Each treatment lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your individual needs.
How Many Sessions Are Recommended?
Studies suggest that the first session often provides the most noticeable reduction in swelling, with 4 to 6 weekly treatments recommended for optimal results. After this initial phase, a maintenance plan can help sustain improvements over time.
RLD for Other Conditions
While RLD was originally studied for secondary lymphedema in breast cancer patients, it has also been found beneficial for:
✔ Lipedema
✔ Post-surgical swelling
✔ Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)
✔ Arthritis & Joint Pain
✔ Sinus congestion & Migraines
✔ Hormonal imbalances (e.g., PMS)
✔ Eczema & Skin conditions
Maximize Your Results with MLD + RLD
At Lady Lymph, we offer RLD as a standalone treatment or in combination with Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) for even greater benefits. Together, these techniques provide a comprehensive approach to lymphatic health, helping to reduce fluid retention, detoxify the body, and restore balance.
