MLD: the lightest of touch
|
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a technique that uses gentle, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage it to transport fluid from swollen areas and back into the lymphatic system.
While MLD is sometimes referred to as a lymphatic massage, it is not a massage in the traditional sense. It utilizes light pressure touch to move lymph fluid; it does NOT involve manipulating muscles or any deep work. |
Excellent for post-op or general wellness
For general wellness, it is recommended to have a monthly manual lymphatic drainage session. If you have a more specific concern or issue, please reach out to us before scheduling so we can recommend the best treatment course.
For post-op care, MLD can aid the body by reducing swelling, increasing mobility, and speeding up the recovery process. It also helps with post-surgery pain relief by gently working the tissues to improve blood flow. Your surgeon may recommend MLD 2-3 times/week for the first 4-6 weeks post-op and 1-2 times/week after during your recovery.
