~RLD~ Reflexology Lymph Drainage
This reflexology technique focuses on stimulating the lymphatics through the reflexes on the feet and hands, causing effects on the lymphatic system through the body.
This award-winning technique was developed by Sally Kay, through clinical practice to relieve lymphoedema in cancer care.
The importance of the lymphatic system
Immune function: It protects you from infection and destroys old or abnormal cells.
Fluid balance: It collects excess fluid from tissues and returns it to the bloodstream.
Nutrient transport: It carries nutrients and proteins to cells and tissues.
Defence against infection: It supplies disease-fighting cells called lymphocytes.
RLD is not only designed to treat lymphoedema, other conditions which can be supported;
Oedema (swelling, fluid retention)
Arthritis
Asthma
