Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD)

This is a very light but effective treatment that has many health benefits. Using a range of specialized and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the lymph fluid in the direction of the lymph pathways.  It is a technique based on gentle, rhythmic and constant movements that mimic the rhythm of the body’s lymphatic system.

MLD is a gentle manual technique that stimulates a malfunctioning or fatigued lymphatic system. Keeping the lymphatic system in good condition is imperative for promoting good health, and for restoring good health when the system has been compromised through events such as surgery, injury or illness.

MLD stimulates the lymphatic vessels which carry substances vital to the defence of the body and removes waste products. The main goal of manual lymph drainage, or “lymphatic drainage” is to improve upon or restore a drainage and transport system that is impaired or slowed down. A big part of the lymphatic system is located very close to the surface of the body, thus manual lymph drainage techniques are applied very effectively with much less pressure than regular massage.

MLD activates the parasympathetic nervous system, naturally reducing stress and stress hormones. An MLD treatment is profoundly relaxing, as it calms the nervous system, reduces pain and restores balance. Stress and fatigue can weaken our immune system. When our immunity is low we are more susceptible to viruses or other contagious conditions that might be going around.

MLD can help strengthen the immune system.

As manual lymph drainage also assists with stimulating the parasympathetic response in the body, it’s beneficial in situations where the nervous system has been compromised, such as with anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. Individuals can benefit from general stress reduction, detoxification and enhanced immune function.
