Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a gentle technique used to reduce odema or swelling in the body. It is a specialised procedure which should be done by a qualified practitioner who understands the directional flow of lymph within the body. The lymphatic system is often overlooked in its importance. It is the system which has a vital role in fighting disease; initiating an immune response to pathogens (bugs!), and filters toxins and bacteria.

• Benefits reduced swelling for those suffering from lymphodema. Reduces odema which can occur with the removal of lymph nodes, due to mastectomy or lumpectomy. Soothes and calms the central nervous system.

Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) is a world leading practice in structural and spinal therapy for lasting pain removal and rejuvenation. The technique initiates a process of natural auto-regulation to occur in the spinal column and consuquently throughout the whole body. The effect is a rapid elinination or reduction of symptoms, followed by an increase in energy and an unmistakable sense of well-being. The technique is gentle yet dynamic and as it promotes natural auto-regulation it can be applied to an extensive range of conditons, for new-borns through to the elderly.

Conditons which respond well to NST: Spinal conditions - Cranial conditions - Headaches including migranes - Neck conditions including whiplash - Back conditions including pelvic, lumbar and thoracic - Shoulder, Elbow, wrist and hand conditions - Keg, knee, ankle and foot conditions - Asthma and other respitory conditions - Arthritis and joint conditions - Menstrual, fertility and menopausal conditions - Accident injuries - Sporting injuries - Acute and chronic fatigue - stress conditons and emotional depression.

Whilst substantial relief is experienced after the first session, long term resolution is generally attained after the second or third session. Certain chronic or degenerative conditions may benefit from further or ongoing treatment
