Clinical Lymphatic Therapy (MLD & DLT)
Specialist support for swelling, recovery, and long-term lymphatic health
What is it?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, clinically applied treatment designed to support the lymphatic system, reduce swelling, and aid tissue recovery.
What makes Nicola Louise Osteopathy different
I provide Decongestive Lymphatic Therapy (DLT)—the international gold standard for managing lymphatic conditions. Every treatment plan is tailored following a comprehensive clinical assessment to ensure it is both safe and effective.
As a registered osteopath and DLT-trained practitioner, I provide clinically applied lymphatic therapy using a whole-body approach. Effective lymphatic drainage depends not only on fluid movement, but also on breathing, joint mobility, and posture.
This is not a relaxation or beauty-based treatment. Care may include assessment, measurement, compression therapy, and ongoing management where appropriate.
I work with people experiencing post-operative swelling, lymphoedema, lipoedema, and other forms of persistent or complex swelling. You do not need a diagnosis to get in touch—if you are unsure, you are very welcome to ask.
