An update for you,
I am now trained in Reflexology Lymph Drainage. But what does this mean. If you have swelling or have any inflammation in the body instead of a full manual lymphatic drainage treatment, I can now treat you using your feet. 07411332510 #MLD#reflexology
The manual lymphatic drainage massage can help with the build up of swelling anywhere in the body. This can be after any kind of surgery, from an injury and from some chronic conditions.
It is the most versatile massage I do.
