Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a form of gentle tissue manipulation that encourages the movement of lymph fluids throughout the body. The fluids in the lymphatic system help remove waste and toxins from tissue that may be sluggish due to health conditions, bolstering the body’s natural detoxification process and enhancing the immune system at the same time. In addition to maintaining fluid levels in the body, the lymphatic system also absorbs fats from the digestive tract and protects the body against foreign invaders by transporting waste products for elimination.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a type of treatment that should not be classified as traditional massage. In addition to promoting deep relaxation, MLD is highly effective in treating swelling, lymphedema, lipedema, inflammation, and reducing pain. It is often recommended to support recovery after medical procedures or surgeries by accelerating the healing process and minimizing scar tissue formation.

Another notable benefit of MLD is its efficacy in reducing cellulite, which is often the body's response to toxin buildup. Combined with healthy lifestyle changes, MLD has been shown to dramatically smooth and reduce the appearance of cellulite.
