About Dr Alison Merrick
Dr Alison Merrick offers specialist massage and bodywork therapies focused on lymphatic health, injury recovery, and holistic wellbeing. Her core services include Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), a clinically developed massage that stimulates the removal of excess fluid and waste products from the body, alongside Lymphatic Taping, which was developed to effect specific and directional lymphatic drainage. She also provides Bowen Technique, a holistic, non-invasive touch therapy using fingers and thumbs to encourage natural healing.
For those managing swelling and fluid retention, Dr Merrick offers comprehensive Lymphoedema Therapy tailored to congestive and inflammatory conditions. She combines multiple modalities in post-surgery recovery packages, integrating MLD, advanced treatments, scar tissue work, and taping as needed to support healing and reduce pain.
Dr Merrick holds professional memberships with MLDuk, the British Lymphology Society, the Lymphoedema Support Network, the Bowen Therapy Professional Association, The Bowen Association UK, and Dr Vodder Academy International, reflecting her commitment to evidence-based practice in lymphatic care and bodywork.
She is particularly experienced in supporting clients through recovery from surgery, managing chronic swelling, and addressing the soft tissue effects of scarring. Her approach combines clinical technique with a focus on individual wellbeing, making her services suitable for those seeking specialist lymphatic care, post-operative support, or gentle therapeutic bodywork.
