What to expect 

Reflexology Lymph Drainage (RLD) is an award-winning, evidence-informed reflexology technique designed to support lymphatic health and help reduce lymphoedema after cancer treatment — particularly following breast cancer surgery and radiotherapy. It is also increasingly used to support clients with other common non-cancer-related conditions involving lymphatic congestion. 

This two-day practical workshop, led by RLD founder Sally Kay, offers a rare opportunity to learn this pioneering method directly from the practitioner who developed it. The course teaches a unique sequence of reflexology techniques delivered via the feet, designed to stimulate lymphatic flow, reduce swelling and improve wellbeing. 

Through demonstrations, supervised practice and guided hands-on learning, you will: 

  • Explore the theory behind RLD and the lymphatic system 
  • Learn the full, accredited RLD sequence step-by-step 
  • Practise techniques in small groups with expert guidance 
  • Understand how to assess, record and evaluate client outcomes 
  • Consider how to adapt RLD safely for cancer and non-cancer settings 

This is a highly practical and clinically meaningful workshop for reflexologists wanting to expand their therapeutic toolkit. 

Learning outcomes 

By the end of the course, you will be able to: 

  • Demonstrate the full RLD sequence confidently and safely 
  • Understand the physiological principles behind lymph drainage reflexology 
  • Tailor RLD for clients with lymphoedema or lymphatic-related concerns 
  • Apply appropriate record-keeping, monitoring and evaluation techniques 
  • Integrate RLD into your wider reflexology or therapeutic practice
