Fluid Retention

Understanding Fluid Retention and Its Impact on Health

Fluid retention, also known as oedema, occurs when excess fluid builds up in the body’s tissues. This condition can affect various parts of the body, including the legs, ankles, and feet, and can lead to discomfort and a sense of heaviness.

Fluid retention can be caused by several factors such as hormonal changes, high salt intake, prolonged standing or sitting, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions like heart or kidney disease.

When the body retains excess fluid, it can lead to swelling, bloating, and puffiness. This not only affects your physical appearance but can also lead to discomfort and reduced mobility. Furthermore, chronic fluid retention can signify more serious health issues that require medical attention. Therefore, managing fluid retention effectively is crucial for maintaining overall health and wellness.

Treating Fluid Retention at Springs Health, Wellness & Beauty Clinic in Warrington

We offer several specialised treatments to help manage and alleviate fluid retention. Our services are designed to enhance lymphatic drainage, improve circulation, and promote the removal of excess fluids and toxins from the body. Two of our most effective treatments for fluid retention are Advanced Compression Therapy and therapeutic massages.

Advanced Compression Therapy

Advanced Compression Therapy is a highly effective treatment for reducing water retention and alleviating swelling and discomfort. This therapy works by enhancing lymphatic drainage and improving blood flow. At Springs Clinic, we utilise the Linfopress Evolution Pro, a state-of-the-art device designed to deliver optimal results.

The Linfopress Evolution Pro operates using a series of inflatable cuffs that are strategically placed around the legs, arms, or other targeted areas. These cuffs apply controlled and precise pressure to different parts of the body. The device systematically inflates and deflates the cuffs, creating a gentle, rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic and circulatory systems.

Promotes Lymphatic Drainage: The rhythmic pressure helps stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting the removal of excess fluids, toxins, and metabolic waste products from the body.
Reduces Swelling: By enhancing lymphatic drainage and improving blood flow, this therapy effectively reduces swelling and oedema.
Relieves Muscle Tension: The gentle massage action also helps to relieve muscle tension and discomfort.
Improves Overall Body Function: Enhanced lymphatic drainage and circulation contribute to better overall body function and well-being.

The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and deeply relaxing. Most clients find the experience soothing and enjoy the sense of relief it provides. Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on your specific needs and the areas being treated. The customised settings allow our therapists to tailor the pressure and massage patterns to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.

Therapeutic Massages

Massages are another effective treatment option for managing fluid retention. At Springs Clinic, our skilled therapists offer a range of massage therapies designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and support the removal of toxins from the body. Regular massages can help maintain lymphatic health and improve overall circulation, which is crucial for reducing fluid retention.

Stimulates Lymphatic System: Massages help stimulate the lymphatic system, promoting the removal of excess fluids and toxins from the body.
Supports Immune System: By improving lymphatic flow, massages support the immune system and enhance your body’s ability to fight off infections.
Reduces Swelling and Discomfort: Massage therapy can help reduce swelling and discomfort associated with fluid retention.
Promotes Relaxation: Massages are deeply relaxing, helping to reduce stress and improve mental well-being, which can also positively impact fluid retention.

At Springs, we understand that each client’s needs are unique. Our highly skilled therapists conduct thorough consultations to assess your specific condition and develop a customised treatment plan tailored to your needs. Whether you require Advanced Compression Therapy, therapeutic massages, or a combination of treatments, we are committed to providing personalised care to help you achieve optimal results.
