What is Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)? (Registered Massage Therapy)
This is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that has a profound effect on the lymphatic system. The detoxification and decongestion effects allow the body to heal and can induce deep relaxation and reduce pain.
Indications for MLD:
- Fibromyalgia
- Poor circulation and swelling
- Lymphatic support for those at risk of lymphedema (lymph nodes removed)
- Injury recovery (strains/sprains)
- Sinus congestion
- Early treatment of whiplash
- Pre/post surgery
- Stress reduction and ‘calming the nerves’
- Overall well-being and immune function
