Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD)

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is a reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. It is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by the wonderful Sally Kay while working in Cancer Care.

The lymphatic system is a network of very small tubes (vessels) that drain lymph fluid from all over the body.  The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body.

The function of the lymphatic system interact with three other body systems: the cardiovascular system, digestive system and immune system - so it is vital our lymphatic system is in balance.  RLD aims to stimulate the function of the lymphatic system and drain excess lymph from the damaged area.

This is a wonderfully relaxing treatment which works the lymphatic system through the feet.
