Lymphatic Drainage Newcastle | Body Repair Clinic

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that encourages the natural movement of lymph fluid, helping to reduce swelling and support the body's drainage system. It's widely used for lymphoedema, and for swelling and recovery after surgery — including cosmetic procedures.

What MLD can help with

MLD is used to support:

Lymphoedema (swelling caused by a compromised lymphatic system)
Swelling and recovery after cosmetic surgery, including liposuction, breast augmentation, tummy tuck, BBL and full body lift
Post-injury and post-operative recovery
A general feeling of heaviness or fluid retention

What makes MLD different

Unlike a standard massage, MLD uses very light, specific strokes that work with the lymphatic system just beneath the skin. It should always be carried out by a properly trained therapist. MLD at Body Repair Clinic is delivered by Victoria Harrison, who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Advanced Skin Therapy with Level 3 MLD incorporated, and a Roseline Academy MLD certification.

Post-surgical and cosmetic recovery

After many surgical and cosmetic procedures, MLD is often recommended to help manage swelling and support a comfortable recovery. We regularly work with people recovering from cosmetic and plastic surgery, alongside their surgeon’s guidance, and tailor a course of sessions to your procedure and recovery stage.

Frequently asked questions

Does MLD hurt?

No — it's very gentle, and most people find it deeply relaxing.

How many sessions will I need?

It depends on your situation. We'll advise you at your first appointment.

Can MLD help after cosmetic surgery?

Yes — it's commonly used to help manage post-surgical swelling. We'll always check your surgeon is happy for you to start.

Is MLD suitable if I have lymphoedema?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. FIRST CLASS! As a former fighter I’ve had loads of injuries over the years all round the world, and seen many practitioners to help get me back to work. I rank Body Repair Clinic right at the top. After a serious injury was misdiagnosed and dismissed at hospital: Chela got me in straight away, knew what was up immediately and started a treatment plan that got me back to work rapidly. The standard of care and expertise was excellent; the staff were all friendly, highly supportive and charismatic. The facility is excellently equipped, clean and pleasant to be in. I looked forward to going every week to rehab and felt better every time after leaving. If any of the athletes from my team, or my family get injured from their sports, I don’t hesitate to get them straight to Body Repair Clinic.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today I had an amazing deep tissue massage off Victoria, it was mixed with hot stones & it was incredible. So good I booked in again. Followed by a red light therapy bed which was also really lovey. Recommend for people with chronic health conditions to ask about the benefits. I’ve signed up for a block booking. The temperature in the room & on the bed was perfect! The space feels safe, friendly, clean & warm. & I really feel zen after 🧘🏻‍♀️. Thank you 🙏 ☺️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Chela highly enough! From the first appointment, I felt genuinely listened to and understood. She has an incredible ability to identify exactly where I’m experiencing pain, often finding tender points I hadn’t even fully noticed myself. It’s clear she really knows bodies and how they work. Chela has a warm, funny, and genuinely caring presence that puts you at ease. There’s something almost healing about just being in her space! The clinic is spotless, calm, and inviting, and I always leave feeling looked after. After struggling with chronic chest pain for over a year with little help elsewhere, Chela is the first practitioner who’s given me a clear plan forward and real hope that I can get better. I finally feel like I’m on the right path. If you’re dealing with persistent pain and feel like you’ve tried everything, I’d absolutely recommend booking with Chela. She’s brilliant at what she does.
