Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Lymphoedema

Before Requesting an Appointment

 

Lymphoedema treatment is tailored to the individual and is not booked directly online.

If you are seeking treatment for lymphoedema, please complete the enquiry form below. Once I have reviewed your information, I will advise on the most appropriate treatment approach and offer suitable appointment options.

This ensures that the correct type of appointment is arranged and that any necessary medical input, compression requirements, or treatment planning can be considered in advance.

Please note that submitting an enquiry does not create or confirm an appointment. Appointments are offered and confirmed individually following review.

What is Lymphoedema?

 

Lymphoedema is a long-term condition that causes swelling in the body's tissues due to problems with the lymphatic system. It most commonly affects an arm or leg, although other areas of the body can also be affected.

There are two main types:

Primary Lymphoedema

A genetic or developmental condition in which parts of the lymphatic system have not formed or functioned normally.

Secondary Lymphoedema

Lymphoedema resulting from damage to the lymphatic system, commonly following cancer treatment, surgery, injury, infection, or other medical conditions.

How I Can Help

I offer Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) as part of a personalised lymphoedema management programme. Following assessment, treatment may fall into one of the following categories:

 

Maintenance MLD

For people with stable, well-managed lymphoedema who wish to support lymphatic function and help maintain their current level of control.

Typically scheduled every 2–4 weeks, depending on individual needs.

If this approach is appropriate for you, your first appointment will include a detailed consultation, review of your lymphoedema history and current management, followed by a full MLD treatment.

Initial consultation and treatment:

80 minutes (£125)

 

Volume Reduction MLD (Decongestive Therapy Support)

 

For people experiencing increased swelling who may benefit from a more intensive treatment approach.

This may include:


• Semi-intensive MLD programmes
• Support alongside NHS bandaging programmes
• Compression garment review
• Liaison with your healthcare team where appropriate

If this approach is appropriate for you, your first appointment will include a more detailed assessment, review of compression garments and current management, measurement where appropriate, treatment planning, and MLD treatment. Where necessary, liaison with your GP, consultant or lymphoedema service may also be undertaken.

Initial assessment and treatment planning appointment:

90 minutes (£140)
