Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a gentle, non-invasive massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to promote the removal of waste, toxins, and excess fluids from the body. This technique is often used for individuals with lymphedema, swelling, or after surgery to reduce fluid retention and improve lymphatic circulation.
MLD involves light, rhythmic strokes that follow the natural flow of the lymphatic system. It helps improve fluid drainage, reduce swelling, and support the immune system by facilitating the movement of lymph fluid. MLD can be used to treat conditions such as chronic swelling, post-surgical edema, and lymphatic blockages.
Manual lymphatic drainage is an essential treatment for improving circulation, reducing swelling, and enhancing overall tissue health and recovery.
