Service Description

RLD is an award winning reflexology technique which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. It works on the exact same principles as Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (Vodder Method) but the treatment is done entirely on the feet. The aim is to cause an effect on the lymphatic system in the body. It is a unique sequence that has been researched and developed by Sally Kay BSc (Hons), whilst working alongside nurses in the MLD clinic in Cardiff University Hospital. Through her study, development and treatment of breast cancer patients with secondary lymphoedema, positive effects were found after one or more RLD treatments, and showed a considerable reduction in the volume of fluid being retained in the limb. Research and case studies have now shown RLD to be of benefit to anyone with Lymphoedema both primary and secondary. Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancer in Ireland. Approximately 20% of these patients develop secondary lymphoedema of the arm following treatment for breast cancer. Lymphoedema is defined as tissue swelling due to the failure of lymph drainage. After breast cancer, a person may experience psychological or emotional difficulties due to altered body image, and a swollen limb can exacerbate this. There are many other conditions that may benefit from the technique for example: Arthritis Asthma Fibromyalgia Sinus problems Headaches ME Pre-menstrual Syndrome
