MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD) – BENEFITS

Experience the revitalising effects of MLD, a gentle technique designed to enhance your body’s natural Lymphatic processes. This specialised treatment promotes lymph flow, reduces swelling, and supports overall immune function, making it especially beneficial for those recovering from surgery or managing chronic conditions.

We emphasise education in our practice, empowering you with knowledge about lymphatic health and self-care strategies. Let us guide you on a journey toward optimal wellness and rejuvenation, as we help you feel lighter, healthier, and more energised.


EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS – BENEFITS

Research shows that time spent with calm, affectionate animals can help reduce stress, lower anxiety levels, and promote relaxation. Their presence often helps people feel more grounded, supported, and open to the healing process. . With their gentle nature and intuitive awareness, animals can create a sense of safety, ease, and connection that supports emotional healing and wellbeing.

In the clinic, an emotional support animal like Archie provides quiet companionship — offering warmth, comfort, and calm simply through his presence. Whether resting nearby or offering a gentle nuzzle, he helps cultivate a soothing environment that nurtures both body and mind. Your comfort is always the priority. Interaction with Archie is entirely optional — he’s equally content to simply be near, contributing to the peaceful atmosphere in his own gentle way.
