Manual lymphatic drainage is a light, rhythmic hands-on technique that helps move excess fluid out of a swollen area. It is used for lymphedema, swelling after surgery or injury, scar healing, and recovery after cosmetic procedures.
It is a useful technique, but it is not a replacement for physical therapy. If you have pain, an injury, weakness or restricted movement, treatment should start with a full assessment — and drainage may then be one part of the plan.
How we treat it
Assessment to confirm lymphatic drainage suits your condition
Gentle, targeted drainage to reduce swelling and edema
Support for recovery after surgery or injury
Techniques that help scars heal better
Combined with exercise and other treatment when needed
Guidance you can carry on with at home
What the sessions look like
We begin by finding the real cause of the swelling, rather than defaulting to the most talked-about session.
The treatment itself is light and comfortable — no strong pressure.
Where it fits, drainage is combined with the rest of your rehabilitation for the best result.
Common questions
Can lymphatic drainage replace physical therapy?
No. It is effective for specific goals such as reducing swelling. But if you have pain, an injury or weakness, physical therapy is the foundation — drainage can be part of it, not a substitute.
Is it painful?
No. It uses very light, gentle pressure and most people find it relaxing.
Who is manual lymphatic drainage for?
It is used for lymphedema, swelling after surgery or injury, scar healing, and recovery after cosmetic procedures — once an assessment confirms it suits your condition.

After a stroke, some strength may return — yet holding a cup, walking steadily or turning without stumbling is still hard. The reason is often coordination. Here are the key exercises and how they're progressed safely.
Short steps, a foot that catches, a fear of falling… If that sounds like you or someone you love after a stroke, gait training starts with sitting and standing — then rebuilds walking one step at a time.
When a hand or arm is weak after a stroke, a simple reflection in a mirror may help the brain relearn movement. What mirror therapy is, how it works, who it suits, and what the evidence says.
