Ms B booked in for a one hour manual lymphatic drainage treatment. She has MS and generalised anxiety disorder.

It had taken her a significant amount of time to feel confident enough to come in for her first treatment due to the anxiety. She arrived feeling groggy and heavy – like trudging through mud.

The treatment started with work on the terminus area which is around the collar bone. It then progressed over the neck and face where there are lots of lymph nodes. 

Once the front of the body had been worked on the treatment was complete and the client felt relaxed having enjoyed the experience.

When Ms B went home she was diligent about regularly drinking water and resting. 

She returned the following week reporting that she felt “restarted”. The low mood and heaviness had shifted meaning she felt motivated, focused and lighter. She also reported a positive impact on her bowel movements.
