What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a highly specialized therapeutic technique that uses

gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage

the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body.

Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic drainage works with superficial lymph vessels just beneath the skin.

When lymph flow becomes sluggish or congested, the body may experience -

  • Swelling

  • Fluid retention

  • Inflammation

  • A feeling of heaviness or stagnation

 

MLD helps restore healthy lymph flow and supports the body’s natural waste removal processes,

immune function & overall fluid balance.
