Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treatment (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, flowing, rhythmic massage which encourages the natural drainage of the lymph. Specific movements and pressure stimulate the lymph flow. Often Manual Lymphatic Drainage is used to reduce pain and enhance immune system activity. It also creates a feeling of well-being which makes it a great treatment to apply to a wide range of physical conditions.

What Conditions can it help?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage will help a client’s body to detox and get rid of any waste materials. It does this by increasing circulation. The increased circulation also has the benefit of increasing vitality and toning the body.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a great treatment for clients who would like to lose weight (it speeds up the metabolism), get rid of cellulite, reduce water retention or get rid of aches. The techniques can also be used during pregnancy. Colds, flu, and general ‘under the weather’ feelings can all be helped by Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage has also been used to help treat cancer. The massage can help to reduce the swelling from lymphoedema. It does this by draining fluid from the swelling into another part of the body where the lymphatic system is functioning normally.
