Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, rhythmic bodywork technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the natural movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. Using light, precise strokes, MLD helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the immune system.

Key Health Benefits:

  1. Post-Operative Recovery: MLD is widely used after surgery to reduce swelling (edema), minimize bruising, and accelerate healing. It can help improve tissue regeneration and enhance comfort during the recovery process.

  2. Detoxification and Immune Support: By stimulating lymph flow, MLD helps the body eliminate toxins and waste more efficiently, supporting immune function and reducing inflammation.

  3. Relief from Chronic Conditions: MLD can be beneficial for individuals dealing with conditions such as lymphedema, fibromyalgia, scleroderma, or chronic fatigue, offering relief from fluid retention, pain, and stiffness.
