What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized form of massage that is used to reduce the pain and discomfort associated with fluid retention and swelling from injury or chronic illness. The MLD therapist gently stimulates drainage of excess fluid back into the circulatory system away from swollen or congested tissues.
MLD can be used to treat conditions affecting the face, breast and abdomen as well as on the body's extremities.
Some of the benefits people can expect from Lymphatic Drainage
- Relieves fluid congestion through areas such as ankle, legs and arms
- Can be applied pre-and post-operative surgery to help aid the healing process by helping to reduce swelling through the effective area
- Is a complementary therapy that is often used to support cancer patients and people living with chronic conditions such as arthritis, frozen shoulder and joint replacements
