Medical Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) in Cheshire

Lymphatic drainage at The Recovery Clinic is medical-grade, evidence-based treatment delivered by qualified physiotherapists - not a beauty or wellness massage. Annabel is registered with MLD UK, the professional body that ensures the highest standards of lymphatic drainage training.

This means you’re in expert hands whether you’re recovering from cosmetic surgery, managing lymphoedema or lipoedema, or preparing your body for an upcoming procedure.

We use the Lymphatouch® device alongside hands-on MLD massage - a clinical tool that uses gentle negative pressure to enhance lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, and support tissue recovery. We never charge extra for Lymphatouch as part of your session.

    • reducing inflammation, swelling, and bruising
