Manual Lymphatic Drainage Portsmouth

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized hands-on technique employed to enhance the function of lymphatic vessels, which are integral to the body's circulatory system. Unlike traditional therapeutic massage, MLD serves a unique and vital purpose: the facilitation of waste removal, excess water elimination, detoxification, and more. At our clinic, we offer MLD to help you experience the benefits of this gentle and highly effective therapy. Please be warned this technique is different from therapeutic massage.

Great sports massages here, always leave feeling refreshed. The whole team are lovely and give you advice on stretches or exercises you can do at home to alleviate any pain . Most recently had a sports massage from Gaz today and it was excellent. Thank you!

I am actually heading to see Georgia in the Recovery Room in about an hour. I have been attending monthly for quite a while now and find the sessions very useful. Georgia listens carefully and tailors each sessions to my physical needs. I would, and have, recommended this business.

I had the best deep tissue massage at The recovery room. Georgia was very friendly and professional, took time to understand my individual needs and gave advice following the treatment on stretches I could do to stop my back from getting so tight again. I wouldn't go anywhere else now - highly recommended!!

I’ve been coming here for over a year and I cannot recommend it enough. I have chronic neck & shoulder pain from bad posture/desk job and Georgia always is there to help and she knows exactly how to! She also gives tips on how to prevent it, and as I’m a medical doctor I like the fact that she doesn’t sell nonsense and has proper skills. She also helped me when I got injured after jogging. I spent many months searching for a good massage place and this is the best in Portsmouth.

I've been coming to the recovery room for about three years now, following a torn hamstring and requirement for rehab, the recovery room was great at catering for my needs.I've since continued to have routine sports massages to maintain my general health and wellbeing which has been great for my routine strength and conditioning regime.I'd certainly recommend the recovery room to anyone looking to improve their overall health or focus on specific areas!

The recovery room is the best! I had another wonderful appointment with Vikki where she guided me through a diagnosis, treatment and then some homework for my rehab. This lady knows her stuff, is so welcoming and friendly every time I see her. I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I've been to The Recovery Room a couple of times for sports massage before and it has always been great.This time I went to see Georgia 2 months after a bike accident to help ease the tightness and stiffness in my legs and knee which took some impact from the fall.We spent some time discussing what happened, the injury I sustained plus what was currently happening and Georgia worked wonders and even sent me away with some homework!!I'll be back for another sports massage after my next physio appointment for sure ☺️

I booked in with Georgia for the first time as I had pain in my back and neck. She was brilliant throughout the whole treatment, from identifying the issues I was having to applying the right pressure and advising on some exercises to try at home. She knew exactly how ease the pain and I felt so much better afterwards. I would highly recommend

The Science of MLD

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's balance and overall health. It is responsible for transporting lymph, a clear fluid that contains white blood cells and waste products, throughout the body. However, unlike the cardiovascular system with its pump (the heart), the lymphatic system relies on external stimuli, such as muscle contractions and manual manipulation, to circulate lymph effectively.

What MLD Can Help With

  • Edema and Swelling Reduction: MLD is especially effective in reducing swelling, making it an excellent choice for individuals dealing with conditions like lymphedema or post-surgical edema.
  • Detoxification: By promoting the removal of toxins and waste products, MLD can aid in detoxification and support your body's natural cleansing processes.
  • Enhanced Immune Function: MLD stimulates lymph flow, which in turn supports your immune system by aiding in the removal of harmful substances and promoting the circulation of immune cells.

Your MLD Experience

During your MLD session at our clinic, you can expect a comfortable and tranquil environment. Our certified MLD therapists will use their expert knowledge to provide a tailored treatment that meets your specific needs. Whether you seek relief from swelling, support for post-surgery recovery, or a gentle way to enhance your overall well-being, MLD can be a valuable addition to your healthcare regimen.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or to schedule your MLD session. We are here to help you experience the benefits of this unique and effective therapy.

  • Relaxation: While MLD differs from traditional massage, many clients find it deeply relaxing and soothing.
