Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a very gentle and soothing modality. It helps keep you healthy by aiding your immune functions and helping move waste and toxins. MLD is also perfect for pain management.

If you are recovering from any type of injury surgery, or autoimmune disease this is the massage for you!! MLD can assist with swelling reduction, pain relief, and give your immune system a much-needed boost. I am a certified lymphatic drainage therapist and l can also teach you some do-at-home techniques you can use to keep your system moving in between visits.

60-minute sessions can be utilized for one to two targeted areas of swelling OR an all-over body treatment done face up.

90-minute sessions are best for clients with more than two areas of focus, or those wishing to receive an overall, both front and back full body treatment.

More about your lymphatic system

The lymphatic system is responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the body, removing waste products, and supporting the immune system. However, the lymphatic system does not have a central pump like the circulatory system, so lymph fluid relies on the contraction of smooth muscles and external stimuli, such as manual lymphatic drainage and exercise to keep it flowing properly.

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) can be beneficial for various conditions and situations. It is commonly used after surgery to reduce swelling and promote healing, in the management of lymphedema, chronic swelling or edema, autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammation, migraines, fibromyalgia, and certain types of pain relief. MLD has a wonderfully relaxing effect on your nervous system and so is also great for anxiety, depression, and insomnia.

It's important to note that MLD should always be performed by a qualified practitioner who understands the specific techniques and considerations involved in lymphatic drainage therapy and who has specialized training in lymphatic drainage techniques. They can assess your condition and determine the most appropriate approach for your individual needs.
