Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a type of gentle massage which encourages the flow of lymph, which carries wastes and excess fluid away from the cells and tissues and helps to reduce blockages and improve the immune system.
It is indicated in a wide variety of situations and conditions, including people recovering from colds and sore throats, those with sluggish immune systems and chronic lack of energy, post surgery (esp. Removal of axillary lymph nodes as seen in breast cancer) and post radiation, swelling in extremities due to pregnancy or inactivity, oedema, sports injuries and assisting healthy scar formation. MLD can also help reduce puffiness in the face leaving you looking fresh and vibrant again!
As with any massage there are some contraindications, so to find out whether MLD is for you or to find out more please give us a call. It is a gentle technique that has a profound and deep impact.
