What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a gentle, hands-on therapy that supports the natural flow of your lymphatic system. Using light, rhythmic strokes, this specialized technique helps move lymph fluid, reducing swelling, detoxifying the body, and promoting relaxation.
The lymphatic system is a network of vessels and organs that lie beneath the skin, and it’s a critical component of a healthy immune system. In fact, your lymphatic system acts almost like a garbage disposal, helping your body filter out waste and bacteria.

What Can MLD Do for You?
MLD can improve and assist the movement of lymphatic fluid from the body’s tissues into the lymphatic vessels, back to the cardiovascular system, soothe and calm the nervous system, as well as provide pain relief.
Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a health condition, or simply looking to improve your well-being, MLD offers many benefits:
- Reduce Swelling: Perfect for post-surgical recovery or managing acute injury where massage is not appropriate.
- Enhance Healing: Speeds up recovery by promoting circulation and reducing fluid buildup.
- Detoxify: Helps flush out toxins, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
- Relieve Pain and Discomfort: Reduces inflammation and soothes tender areas.
- Boost Immune Health: Encourages the flow of lymph, which plays a vital role in your immune system.
- Support for Neurological Conditions: For individuals with conditions such as multiple sclerosis, MLD can reduce edema and improve comfort, potentially leading to better overall management of the condition and less strain on the nervous system.
- Improved Sleep Quality: The relaxation induced by MLD can improve sleep patterns. Better sleep allows the nervous system to repair and regenerate, enhancing overall neurological health.
I’m thrilled to offer MLD as part of my services! If you’re interested in learning more or scheduling a session, feel free to reach out. Let’s work together to support your health and wellness journey.
