Charmaine Clarke has recently qualified as a Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage (RLD) practitioner and now offers this treatment from our practice.

To help people benefit from this treatment, which requires more than one session to help show signs of improvement and comfort, Charmaine is offering 4 one hour sessions for just £120.

Results from recent research (publication pending) showed a positive trend and suggest that RLD may be helpful in the management of secondary lymphoedema following treatment for breast cancer. Findings also appear to support the theory of reflexology. Within Charmaine’s study, it has been suggested that this form of reflexology could be beneficial for people with certain auto-immune conditions.

If you would like to find out more about RLD or book an initial appointment with Charmaine, please either call Charmaine direct on 07595 044 792 or call us on 01359 408 011.

Charmaine is offering £15 off for all initial treatments for new clients during the months of January and February, this includes Women’s Health / Maternity / Fertility (Natural and Assisted Conception) Mindful and RLD practitioner (specialised lymphatic drainage for Primary / Secondary Lymphoedema and Auto-immune Disorders).
