Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Method®)
Specialised lymphatic care using the internationally recognised Vodder Method®, designed for clients requiring targeted support for swelling, lymphatic conditions and post-surgical recovery.
Flow Supports Function. Function Supports Wellbeing.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle treatment that supports the function of the lymphatic system—an essential part of the body responsible for maintaining fluid balance, supporting immune function and transporting excess fluid away from the tissues.
Unlike our signature Lymphatic Flow & Fascia Release treatment, which takes a broader whole-body approach, this treatment is specifically designed for clients who require focused lymphatic care due to surgery, persistent swelling or medically indicated lymphatic conditions.
Using the internationally recognised Vodder Method®, each treatment is tailored to your individual presentation, supporting healthy lymphatic function while working within your body's natural capacity to recover.
Is This Treatment Right For You?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage may be appropriate if you're experiencing:
• Post-surgical swelling and recovery
• Lymphoedema
• Lipoedema
• Persistent swelling
• Fluid retention requiring specialised lymphatic care
• Medically indicated lymphatic conditions
If your primary goal is improving movement, reducing muscular tension, addressing fascial restriction, calming the nervous system or experiencing a more restorative whole-body treatment, our Lymphatic Flow & Fascia Releasetreatment may be the more appropriate choice.
Choose Your Treatment
60 Minutes | $160
Ideal for treating a specific area or providing targeted lymphatic support where a focused approach is appropriate.
90 Minutes | $220
Our most comprehensive lymphatic treatment.
For clients requiring more extensive lymphatic care, the additional time allows for a more thorough treatment and, where clinically appropriate, more comprehensive full-body lymphatic drainage.
The 90-minute session is often recommended for clients with more complex presentations, multiple treatment areas or those requiring ongoing specialised lymphatic support.
Every Treatment Is Personalised
No two clients present the same way.
Every appointment begins with understanding your health history, current concerns and treatment goals before developing a personalised treatment plan.
Your treatment is guided by clinical assessment, your individual presentation and what your body needs on the day, ensuring your care is always thoughtful, appropriate and tailored specifically to you.
