RLD is an award winning reflexology technique by Sally Kay which focuses on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes on the feet. An innovative approach to reflexology designed to mirror the basis of Manual Lymph Drainage massage via the reflexes of the feet. I had the privilege to train with this remarkable lady and her unique sequence has been researched and developed whilst working in Cancer Care.
Sally teaches a unique, evident based, ground breaking technique to reflexology practitioners.
Although the original protocol was developed for clients with unilateral secondary Lymphoedema of the arm, RLD is being used more widely to good effect in the treatment of other conditions just like Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
Lymphedema sessions
Before and After each session, measurements will be taken of either the arms or feet and lower legs. This enable the volume of fluid loss to be calculated and compared on an ongoing basis over the span of your treatments.
I will ask you to be seated on a couch and ask you to remove your shoes and socks. I will complete a consent form and medical questionnaire in which will need you to detail medical history, current and historical. If you have medications please bring them along as they will have dosages on them. I do not store ANY data online anywhere, it is kept manually locked away. It is not necessary for a GP referral to try reflexology treatment but reflexology can not give a medical diagnosis and a client would not be discouraged from visiting their GP. I will recline you into a position of comfort and proceed with treatment. I will ask you to keep your eyes closed to aid calmness and relaxation. If you find yourself drifting off to sleep, that would be perfect!
