Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a physical, mental and emotional level treatment.

WHAT IS MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage is a light, non-invasive manual technique in which the therapist uses gentle rhythmic and repetitive pumping techniques to move lymph fluid in the direction of the lymph pathways.

MLD lightly stretches the skin, stimulating the pumping action of the deeper lymphatic vessel. (Traditional massage works the muscles and the connective tissue, often with a very deep pressure.)

HOW DOES MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE WORK?

The repetitive motion of MLD stimulates the lymphatic vessels, encouraging the removal of waste and toxins.

This stimulates and increases blood circulation, allowing fresh nutrient exchange and resulting in better health and wellbeing. Due to increased blood circulation, cellular regeneration is enhanced.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MLD MASSAGE?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which reduces pain, restores balance, and creates profound relaxation.  

While MLD is helpful in reducing edema and scarring caused by trauma, surgery, or chronic inflammation, it also assists in recovery from many other conditions and is an excellent esthetic and wellness therapy. 

Lymphatic Drainage is very beneficial in reducing pain and swelling associated with lymph node removal during breast cancer treatment. And if received regularly, it helps to improve the function of healthy tissue and lymph flow.
