Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle yet powerful touch therapy. Specific techniques are used to stimulate your lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a part of your immune system and is responsible for filtering excess fluid between your cells and creating white blood cells called lymphocytes that attack viruses, bacteria and other foreign substances in the body. Stimulating the lymphatic system through MLD helps reduce swelling and pain, accelerate healing and boost immunity and energy.
People experiencing the following conditions or situations can benefit from MLD sessions:
Post-surgery recovery
Fibromyalgia
Cellulite
Lipedema
Migraines
Soft tissue rheumatism (such as tendinitis, bursitis and carpal tunnel syndrome)
Post-COVID syndrome
Manual lymph drainage (also known as lymphatic massage) for post-op care is a gentle, specialized manual therapy designed to support your body’s natural healing process after surgery. This therapy is designed to help reduce swelling, increase range of motion, encourage healthy lymph flow, and minimize the risk of fibrosis and overly rigid scar tissue formation.
Each session is customized to your specific procedure and your current stage of healing. Every body heals differently and your individual treatment plan will reflect your surgeon’s recommendations, your health history, and how your body is responding.
Please consult with your surgeon regarding when it is appropriate to begin manual lymph drainage following your procedure(s). The number and frequency of sessions will vary based on individual needs and surgical guidelines.
