My name is Heather Powell, I am a fully qualified Dr Vodder School Manual Lymph Drainage practitioner and a massage therapist, and whilst training for my MLD qualifications I felt intuitively that this was a treatment that could be usefully applied to horses.
To be able to do so I trained in Germany through the School of Veterinary Medicine, Hanover University, and became the first overseas candidate to qualify to use MLD with horses under the auspices of the Europäisches Seminar für Equine Lymphdrainage.
I started Equine MLD in the UK in 2006 and now have an international practice, and am the author of original published research on the use of combined decongestive therapy to treat horses. I also have equine industry qualifications, and am fully insured to use MLD with animals.
I am based in the Midlands and am happy to travel to see clients wherever possible, or for them to bring their horses to me.

Although primarily aimed at owners and carers of horses I hope this site will be of interest to veterinary surgeons and encourage them to consider the use of EMLD with their patients.
In addition to treating horses I work with people who find Manual Lymph Drainage effective for a very wide range of medical conditions, relaxation and cosmetic purposes, and to treat lymphoedema and related conditions such as venous insufficiency.

I am also a massage therapist, and treat people involved in a wide range of activities, recovering from injury, or who simply believe (quite rightly!) that they deserve a nice massage.
