Our Lymphatic Drainage Approach

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Gentle, rhythmic hand pressure that follows the lymph pathways to encourage drainage from areas of congestion toward functioning lymph nodes.
Compression Therapy: Targeted compression garments or bandaging applied during or after the session to maintain the drainage gain and reduce re-accumulation.
Targeted Movement: Personalized exercises that use muscle pump and joint movement to keep lymph moving between sessions.
Diaphragmatic Breathing Cues: Deep breathing patterns that activate the central lymphatic pump in the chest and abdomen.
Self-MLD Coaching: We teach you a short daily routine you can do at home so the gains from your in-clinic session are sustained.
How We Work

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.

  1. 1

    You pay your session at the clinic, with flexible options including Tabby installments, Ziina, and standard cards.

  2. 2

    We hand you the detailed invoice and the medical report your insurer needs, the same day.

  3. 3

    You submit for reimbursement to your insurer. We are happy to talk you through what to send.

Tip: a quick call to your insurer before your first visit confirms your physiotherapy coverage and avoids surprises later.
