Your body knows
how to heal.
We help it get
there faster.
Whether you're healing from surgery, experiencing swelling, or investing in long-term wellness, you're in excellent hands with our licensed massage therapists certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
A gentle technique with serious results
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized massage technique that uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate your lymphatic system — the body's natural drainage and immune network.
Unlike deep tissue massage, MLD works just beneath the skin's surface. That gentle touch is intentional: it's exactly what the lymphatic vessels need to move fluid, reduce swelling, and kickstart healing.
At Michigan Massage and Wellness, our therapists are certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies and have undergone additional advanced training in the management of post-operative surgical procedures.

Troy's dedicated MLD specialists — not a spa add-on
Specifically Trained
Our therapists are certified through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies and have undergone hundreds of hours of training — not a 16-hour weekend elective course.
Post-Op Experience
One of our therapists brings 15 years of nursing experience — primarily in surgical settings. She knows what happens under the skin and brings that clinical lens to every session.
Conveniently Located
Based in Troy, MI — easily accessible from across Metro Detroit, Royal Oak, Birmingham, and surrounding communities.
Real Care
We don't do body sculpting or contouring. You won't leave bruised and in pain. We take a traditional, clinical approach — light touch, real results. This is medical-grade MLD the way it was designed to be practiced.
Continuity of Care
We track your progress session to session and adjust technique as your body heals — not a one-size-fits-all approach.
20+ Years of Practice
Michigan Massage and Wellness has deep roots in the Metro Detroit community with a reputation built on outcomes, not marketing.
"I was four days post-op and in a decent amount of pain. After 60 minutes of my therapist barely touching me, I felt a lot better. I was able to stand easier and the results lasted past the appointment. I can't wait to see her again this week and continue healing. I was a bit skeptical as I had never experienced this type of massage. I'm so glad I did my research and found Michigan Massage and Wellness!"— Brooke G., Post-Op Recovery Client
