MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE​

​Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized skin stretching massage designed to improve the function of the lymphatic system by stimulating the movement of lymph fluid in the body. Gentle, slow and rhythmic techniques are used that follow the pathways of the lymph vessels in order to encourage the lymph to drain more efficiently.

Our lymphatic system which lies just under our skin is sometimes referred to as our "internal cleansing system for the whole body." The lymph vessels, ducts and 600-700 lymph nodes throughout our bodies work constantly to regulate and filter proteins, fluid, toxins and unwanted cells - such as cancer cells. A healthy lymphatic system is vital to a healthy immune system. MLD has a soothing effect on the nervous system as well as an analgesic effect.
