This type of treatment is solely used to treat the lymphatic system and is very different to a regular massage for your muscles, and is for people with a functioning lymphatic system without lymph node removal.

 

How does manual lymphatic drainage work?

​

MLD is a unique very gentle specialized massage that uses a variety of  skin-stretching techniques to gently stimulate the lymphatic fluid under your skin.  This promotes the movement of the lymphatic fluid, encouraging it to flow freely around your lymphatic system.

Where there are blockages (areas of lymph build up) the advanced techniques of this massage help stimulate the lymph nodes and increase the rhythmic contractions of the lymphatic vessels encouraging them to find new pathways that enable the lymph to drain away from the swollen area.

Free-flowing lymph and an optimally working lymphatic system helps renew, nourish, strengthen and regenerate the cells of your body whilst also assisting with the removal of excess fluid from the system and waste products.
