Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a technique that uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage it to transport fluid from swollen areas and back into the lymphatic system. While MLD is sometimes referred to as a lymphatic massage, it is not a massage in the traditional sense. It utilizes light pressure touch to move lymph fluid; it does NOT involve manipulating muscles or any deep work.

For general wellness, it is recommended to have a monthly manual lymphatic drainage session. If you have a more specific concern or issue, please reach out to me before scheduling so I can recommend the best treatment course.

For post-op care, MLD can aid the body in reducing swelling and can increase mobility during recovery. Your surgeon may recommend MLD 2-3 times/week for the first 4-6 weeks post-op and 1-2 times/week after during your recovery.

Who Can Benefit from MLD?

ANYONE can benefit from manual lymphatic drainage. It is deeply relaxing (even though it doesn’t feel like anything is happening), soothing, and can act as an analgesic (pain relief).
