I am pleased to say that I now offer Lymphatic Drainage work alongside my Bowen Therapy practice.

The treatment itself is, just like Bowen, a gentle hands on treatment which can be carried out through light clothing.

​

What is Lymphatic System?

​

The lymphatic system is composed of several organs, fluid called lymph, lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes.

It performs three main functions:

​

• draining the interstitial fluid which escapes from capillaries and transporting it back to the heart

• facilitating absorption of fats from the digestive system by producing chyle

• helps the body's immune system to defend against foreign cells, microbes and cancer cells.

​

​

Struggling lymphatic system will present itself in the form of ​

​

• swelling and tendernes

​

• constant fatigue

​

• brain fog

​

• headaches

​

• sinus issues

​

• struggling immune response​

​

• recurring colds

​

• joint stiffness​

​

• digestive issues

​

• constipation etc.

​

​

What are the contraindications of the lymphatic system drainage:

​

• acute inflammation caused by antigens such as bacteria, virus, fungi, chemicals etc.

• acute allergy

• acute DVT of the legs

• untreated malignant disease, tumour recurrence, metastasis.
