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 can help you recover quicker, reduce swelling and prevent fibrosis and overly rigid scar formation. Consult with your surgeon about how soon after your procedure(s) it is recommended to start manual lymph drainage. The number of sessions recommended vary with each person based on the procedures done, health history and surgeon's instructions. Schedule a free consultation with me today.
