So good to actually have a Christmas party this year. If you're a self employed one women band its usually a lonely time.

Best move I ever made moving in with

Here are my open hours for Massage and Lymphatic Drainage over the holidays.

My last day before xmas is the 19th December and appointments for that week are filling up fast.

If you want some me-time or are feeling some muscular pain or tension, then why not book a treatment with me on the 29th, 30th or 31st(am) December?

Or perhaps you would like a head start on some new year detoxing with a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage.

Don't forget I also have gift vouchers available in card form or online.

I had a client tell me this week that a previous MLD treatment had involved a body brush for most of the hour, so I thought I would be late to the party and get on this propaganda trend.

Yes, body brushing is awesome for maintenance, but we can all do that at home by ourselves. What you're paying for in a clinic or salon are bespoke targeted treatments done by a professional with advanced anatomy knowledge. After studying the lymphatic system, I can't see how effective and results-driven MLD can be done without the involvement of the human hand.

Here's some useful info to explain MLD in a bit more detail:

-Working on one area of the body at first is a pointless exercise. To drain an area properly, we first need to create space in the whole system. Otherwise, the fluid has nowhere to go.

-Weight loss is possible after a treatment, but this is water weight, not fat loss. The results we get depend on how your lymphatic system is performing at that time and also the clients lifestyle.

-The Lymphatic System does not care what technique you use, be it the Brazilian or Vodder method (I use both depending on client needs). This is why I don't use tools or machines other than dry cupping. I'm sure some will be an added bonus or have other benefits for the body, so I'm certainly not discounting them.

-Post-operative MLD is amazing and, in my opinion, essential for speed and efficacy in the healing process after surgery. However, physically squeezing fluid from incisions with pressure or force is something no massage therapist is qualified to do.

- if your MLD treatment starts with you lying face down or painfully deep pressure, you've just had a Sports Massage and not MLD.

This is the feedback of a client that came in for her 2nd MLD treatment recently.

I'm not saying that MLD is a cure for Menopause symptoms, but treatments such as Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage can really enable us to reconect with our bodies as well as providing some relief and clarity to work through our own experiences.

Many adverse menopause symptoms are within our control. The trickiest part is figuring out the how's and whys. Small steps of self care are a great start.

Most business owners I speak to don’t realise how much muscle pain and tension are costing them.

Work-related muscle and joint problems cost UK businesses around £21.6 billion a year — mostly in lost productivity, sick pay and time off.

Over 4 million workdays are lost every year to back pain alone.

And when people push through the pain instead of treating it, their productivity can drop by 20–40% — even when they’re still at work.

If you’ve ever tried to get help through the NHS, you’ll know how long the wait can be. It’s often 6–18 weeks, and in some areas even longer.

That’s a long time to be managing pain, stiffness or limited movement — especially when it’s affecting your work, focus and energy.

Remedial Massage can make a big difference. It helps release tension, prevent injuries from coming back, and keep you (and your team) performing at your best.

If you run a business and you or your staff are struggling with muscular pain or tension , I offer individual treatments and business packages to help keep you moving.
