When your body feels heavy, swollen, or sluggish, it may be a sign your lymphatic system needs support.

What Is Reflexology Lymph Drainage?

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is an advanced Reflexology method that focuses specifically on stimulating the lymphatic reflexes in the feet.
The lymphatic system is essential for:

  • Removing toxins and waste from the body

  • Supporting the immune system

  • Reducing inflammation and swelling

By applying gentle, precise pressure to targeted reflex points, RLD encourages lymphatic flow and helps the body release fluid build-up. This makes it a powerful yet relaxing therapy for anyone dealing with swelling, chronic conditions, or simply wanting to feel lighter and more energised.

Many clients in Noosa, Sunshine Coast, and Hinterland seek RLD for its wide-ranging benefits:

  1. Reduction of Swelling & Fluid Retention
    Especially supportive for clients experiencing lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, or inflammation in the legs, feet, and ankles.

  2. Immune System Support
    By stimulating lymphatic circulation, RLD helps strengthen the body’s natural defences.

  3. Detoxification & Cleansing
    Encourages the removal of toxins and waste, helping you feel lighter and more balanced.

  4. Relief for Chronic Conditions

    RLD may support people living with:

    • Post-cancer treatment swelling

    • Autoimmune disorders

    • Fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue

    • Hormonal imbalance

  5. Relaxation & Stress Release
    Like all Reflexology, RLD is deeply calming, helping to reduce anxiety and tension while the body heals.

What Makes RLD Different from Reflexology?

While traditional Reflexology works across the whole body’s reflex zones, RLD is highly targeted. It focuses specifically on lymphatic reflexes, with the goal of reducing fluid build-up and stimulating detoxification.
Clients often describe the difference this way:

  • Reflexology = overall wellbeing, balance, stress relief

  • RLD = focused detox, swelling reduction, immune support

Both therapies can be combined for a holistic approach to healing.

What to Expect in an RLD Session

At Samantha Lennie Therapy, each Reflexology Lymph Drainage session is designed to be both restorative and personalised. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Consultation – Samantha will discuss your health history, goals, and areas of concern.

  2. Preparation – You’ll recline comfortably, shoes and socks removed.

  3. RLD Treatment – Samantha applies specialised Reflexology techniques to the lymphatic reflex points on your feet.

  4. Integration – The session ends with soothing techniques to help your body process and rebalance.

Sessions typically last around 60 minutes and many clients feel immediate lightness and relief. For chronic conditions, a series of sessions may provide the best results.

Who Can Benefit from RLD?

RLD is suitable for most people and especially beneficial if you experience:

  • Swelling in the legs, feet, or ankles

  • Lymphedema after surgery or cancer treatment

  • Hormonal imbalances and fluid retention

  • Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions

  • Stress, fatigue, or low immunity

Always consult with your doctor if you are under medical care or post-surgery before beginning RLD.

Common Questions About Reflexology in Australia

  • No. While it can feel similar, Reflexology works on mapped reflex points connected to organs and systems, rather than focusing only on muscle relaxation.

  • Treatments should not be painful, though certain reflex points may feel tender. This often indicates energy imbalance, and pressure is always adjusted for comfort.

  • Some clients notice benefits after just one session. For long-term issues, a series of treatments is recommended to support deeper balance.

  • Yes. many practitioners specialise in maternity Reflexology, which can support relaxation, circulation, and ease pregnancy-related discomfort. Always confirm your practitioner is trained in prenatal Reflexology.
