What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) involves a gentle, rhythmical massage on the skin using very light pressure to stimulate the movement of fluid in the body through the lymphatic system.

The objective of MLD is to reduce inflammation, cellular wastes, toxins, antigens, and swelling in the tissue in order to promote healing.

MLD also acts on the nervous system reducing “fight or flight” and allowing the parasympathetic system to regulate. This gives the client a deep sense of relaxation and substantially reduces symptoms of swelling.

MLD is great for anyone who:

  • Feels swollen

  • Suffers with repeat colds/flus

  • Interested in relaxation

  • Is post surgical (After 8 weeks w/Dr’s note)

  • Underwent cancer treatment

  • 3 months post chemo, for radiation once healed with Dr’s clearance

We help clients with such common ailments as chronic pain, head and neck injuries, orthopedic problems, TMJ dysfunction, and more.
