Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle touch for better circulation, recovery and wellbeing
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, helping the body eliminate excess fluid, reduce swelling, and support immune function. It is especially effective for conditions involving edema, post-surgical recovery, and chronic inflammation.
What does the lymphatic system do?
The lymphatic system is a vital part of our immune and circulatory system. It works like your body’s inner cleansing network, helping to:
- remove wast and toxins from tissues
- transport lymph - a fluid rich in immune cells - throughout the body
- reduce swelling by draining excess fluid
- support healing and tissue regeneration
Unlike blood, lymph doesn’t have a pump like the heart. It moves slowly, stimulated by the body movement or gentle manual techniques such as lymphatic drainage.
When is MLD recommended?
MLD can benefit people with
Lymphedema
Pregnancy-related swelling
Postoperative swelling
Digestive discomfort or bloating
Chronic venous insufficiency
General fatigue and immune support
It is also part of your wellbeing routine to support detox and tissue regeneration.
How does a session work?
The technique is non-invasive, pain free, and deeply relaxing.
What does the science say?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage significantly reduces post-operative edema and improves healing in cosmetic surgery.
