What is Lymphatic Massage / Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
Lymphatic Massage, also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), is a specialized therapeutic technique designed to support the body's lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in immune function and maintaining fluid balance by removing waste products, toxins, and excess fluid from tissues.
MLD involves gentle, rhythmic, and precise movements applied to the skin, stimulating the flow of lymphatic fluid. This helps reduce swelling, improve circulation, and promote the removal of toxins and waste.
Benefits of MLD include:
- Alleviating swelling (lymphedema) after surgery or injury.
- Supporting recovery after cosmetic or orthopedic procedures.
- Boosting the immune system.
- Relieving discomfort from conditions like fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue.
- Improving skin health and reducing puffiness.
This treatment is non-invasive, relaxing, and tailored to individual needs, making it an excellent option for those seeking to improve overall wellness, enhance healing, or manage chronic conditions.
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Gentle and Rhythmic Movements: MLD uses light, precise strokes to stimulate lymphatic flow without any squeezing or heavy pressure.
Comfortable Positioning: You’ll be placed in a supported and relaxing position on a massage table. If lying on your back isn’t comfortable, side-lying or seated options can be arranged.
Full-Body Flow Boost: Your session begins by stimulating overall lymphatic flow to prepare the body for localized treatment.
Targeted Care: Swollen areas are treated with gentle strokes that encourage lymph to reroute around affected lymph nodes or vessels.
Tummy Focus (if needed): The abdomen may be gently worked on to relieve post-surgical constipation and support the lymphatic system’s drainage pathways.
Key Details:
- No oils or lotions are used during MLD.
- Light pressure is applied in the direction of natural lymphatic flow.
- The treatment is non-invasive, calming, and designed to suit your individual needs.
