Benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage

Manual lymph drainage (MLD) is a highly beneficial and versatile type of bodywork that specifically targets the lymph system, which is a key component of our immune system. When the lymph system is working efficiently, it is helping to maintain balance in the body's fluid levels and helping the body defend against infections. When the lymph system is compromised, you may experience swelling, puffiness, bloating, fatigue and a reduced ability to fight off infections. Lymphatic drainage massage can help improve lymphatic flow and reduce these symptoms.

Manual lymph drainage is very slow and gentle bodywork. It involves a rhythmic stretch and release of the skin, effectively acting as a pump that mimics a healthy lymph system. This creates a soothing, pain-relieving effect in the areas of the body where the lymphatic system may be blocked.

MLD is a great choice for people with post-operative swelling, chronic pain, lipedema, lymphedema, chronic venous insufficiency, sinus issues, migraine, fatigue or general sluggishness.
