Help patients understand why you are the right fit
Patients seeking MLD are rarely comparing distance alone. They want to understand whether a therapist's training is relevant to their needs, whether their professional insurance is current, which conditions or procedures they support, what they charge, whether home visits are available and what previous patients have said.
Whether your work centers on postoperative care following cosmetic, reconstructive or medically indicated surgery, lymphedema, lipedema, swelling following cancer treatment or general MLD, your profile is structured around the reason a patient is seeking support.
- Post-op recovery
- Lipedema
- Lymphedema
- Cancer-related swelling
- General wellbeing
They can also filter by home visits, fees and the treatments you offer.
What membership includes
How The MLD Register helps patients find you
Being listed only has value if the right patients can find you. We work continuously to build the visibility of the register and connect patients with verified therapists.
- Local discovery. Town and area pages help people searching for MLD support near them find suitable therapists nearby.
- Search optimization. The register, therapist profiles and location pages are structured around the searches patients actually make.
- Patient-focused content. Useful guides answer the questions patients are already searching for and direct them towards relevant therapists.
- Professional referrals. We build awareness of the register across the lymphatic, surgical and wider healthcare community.
- Ongoing promotion. Social media, outreach, partnerships, PR and awareness campaigns help bring new patients to the register.
- Designed to generate inquiries. Detailed verified profiles help patients compare therapists, build confidence and choose who to contact.
- A growing network. Every member profile and Verified MLD Therapist badge increases the register's visibility, authority and recognition.
Let patients verify your status from your own website
A static logo can remain on a website long after the circumstances behind it have changed. The MLD Register badge is different.
The live MLD Register badge
It is linked directly to the therapist's current Register profile and served by The MLD Register. If the registration is no longer active, the badge changes automatically and no longer presents the therapist as currently registered.
This live connection is what gives the badge meaning: patients are not simply being shown a claim; they are being given a way to confirm it.
Your membership certificate
The downloadable membership certificate provides a complementary physical record for the treatment room or professional files. Printed use of the badge should always be accompanied by the therapist's registration number so that current status can be checked.
Specimen shown. Your own badge carries your registration number, and its wording follows what you tell us you do: therapists who state postoperative work carry the wording shown here. Your certificate carries your name, your registration number and your verification date.
Founding Membership
Each area has three Founding Membership places, with six calendar months free, then $15 a month. Founding Members also have Featured Placement included.

How joining works
1. Apply and reserve your place
Create your secure member account and accept your offer. No card is needed, and nothing is charged today. Your place and monthly rate are reserved, subject to successful verification.
2. Tell us about your practice
Answer a few short questions and upload your recognized MLD training certificate and your current professional insurance certificate through the secure dashboard. A person reviews your application against the published Verification Standard. We aim to review complete applications within a few working days, then prepare your profile and draft your professional bio.
3. Review and approve
Each area has three Founding Membership places, with six calendar months free, then $15 a month. Your free period begins when your approved, confirmed profile is public after launch. We confirm the exact first-payment date and send reminders 14 and 3 days beforehand.
If anything needs clarification, we explain exactly what is needed and give you 14 days to resolve it. If it cannot be resolved, or your documents do not arrive within 14 business days (Monday to Friday), your reserved place is simply released and nothing is charged.
Independent by design
The MLD Register is not owned by a training school, insurer or professional body, which preserves an independent standard for therapists and patients alike. It is owned and operated by Truly Empowered Ltd, the company behind Therapy Webgenie and VerifiedPractitioner, and funded through published membership fees. Every therapist must meet the same published Verification Standard before being listed.
Each profile brings reviewed training and current insurance together with fees, reviews, home visits and therapist-reported procedure experience, helping patients compare their options with confidence and contact you directly.
Featured placement changes visibility only. It does not alter what is reviewed, confer a higher verification status or imply greater clinical ability.
What we verify
Independently reviewed
Recognized postoperative MLD training and current professional insurance, checked by a person against the published standard before your profile goes live.
Therapist-reported
Specific surgeries and postoperative procedures, fees, home visits, practice locations and your professional biography. You are required to keep these accurate under the Code of Conduct.
Choosing the right therapist
Our checks confirm your training and insurance on the dates shown. Finding the right therapist is a personal choice, so we suggest patients have a short conversation with you before they book.
We do not assess clinical competence, treatment quality or patient outcomes, and patient reviews are shown separately with their source identified. Membership of The MLD Register cannot guarantee patient inquiries, search-engine rankings or inclusion within AI-generated results.
Frequently asked questions
Which training programs are accepted?
The Register accepts defined qualifications from recognized MLD schools and specifically accepted specialist programs. The full list and the criteria used are published within the Verification Standard. Recognition is program-specific. Acceptance of one program does not mean that every course delivered by the same provider is accepted.
My original MLD certificate is several years old. Can I still apply?
Yes. An accepted original qualification does not expire solely because of its age. The separate Revalidated status is available where an accepted refresher, review or update has been completed within the previous 24 months.
My practice is principally postoperative rather than lymphedema-focused. Is the Register relevant to me?
Yes. Patients can search by the particular surgery or postoperative procedure they have undergone, including procedures undertaken for cosmetic, reconstructive or medically indicated reasons. Your recognized training is displayed separately from the procedure-specific experience you report, and we do not independently audit caseload numbers, years of experience or treatment outcomes.
What happens to the documents I upload?
Training and insurance documents are stored securely and are not displayed publicly. Access is limited to the people responsible for verification. The public profile displays the outcome and relevant details of the review rather than the underlying documents. Full details in our Privacy Policy.
What happens if my insurance document expires?
The Register issues reminders in advance of the recorded expiry date. Where a replacement document is not supplied, the public profile is suspended and the live badge ceases to display active status until current insurance has been reviewed.
What happens if my application cannot be accepted?
We explain the reason clearly and allow 14 days for missing or clarifying evidence to be supplied. If the matter cannot be resolved, the application is closed and your reserved place is released. Nothing has been charged, and nothing ever is.
