As part of my continuing professional development I have undertaken Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) training with Sally Kay MFHT who devised RLD as part of her holistic therapy degree and is regarded as the pre-eminent RLD practitioner and trainer in the UK.
RLD was primarily associated with the effects of breast cancer treatment (see article below), however, many other conditions where inflammation or swelling is present may also benefit from this treatment.
One of my clients had swollen lower legs and was delighted by the reduction in swelling (measurements are taken before and after treatment to quantify the impact of each session) and increased mobility that she noticed after the treatments.
The below is a review of RLD treatment and its potential outcomes for the client.
