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. Both Annabel and Leah are 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.

Our lymphatic drainage clinic is available at:

- Wilmslow, SK9 — with Annabel

- Mobberley, WA16 — with Leah

    • reducing inflammation, swelling, and bruising

    • supporting faster wound healing

    • stimulating collagen production

    • improving circulation and oxygen delivery

    • minimising pain and excessive scar formation

    As part of a comprehensive Lymphoedema management plan, it can:

    • support lymphatic drainage

    • reduce swelling and fluid retention

    • decrease tissue inflammation

    • soften fibrotic tissue

    • improve skin integrity and comfort
