Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage therapy is a specialized technique designed to stimulate and enhance the natural flow of lymph.
It involves gentle, rhythmic movements performed by a trained therapist to encourage the drainage of lymphatic fluid. MLD is particularly effective in reducing oedema, improving circulation, and supporting the immune system.

Benefits of lymphatic drainage massage

  • Reduced Swelling
  • Lymphatic drainage can help the drainage of excess fluid from tissues.
  • Lymphatic drainage supports the body's natural detoxification processes by facilitating the removal of waste products and toxins.
    Immune System Support
  • The lymphatic system is a key component of the immune system. Enhancing lymphatic flow can help improve immune function.
  • Relaxation
  • The gentle, rhythmic movements of lymphatic drainage massage can promote relaxation and stress reduction.
  • Improved Circulation
  • Lymphatic drainage is commonly used in the management of conditions such as post-traumatic conditions (sports injuries), post-event (delayed muscle soreness), tendonitis, arthritis, degenerative joint diseases, constipation and irritable bowel syndrome, post-surgical recovery, and to support overall well-being. It’s important to note that individuals with certain health conditions, such as congestive heart failure or active infections, may need to avoid lymphatic drainage therapy. It’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before undergoing any massage or therapeutic treatment, especially if you have underlying health concerns.
