What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to support the movement of lymph and promote healthy fluid circulation throughout the body. It can be used to help manage swelling and fluid accumulation, support recovery after surgery or injury, and provide ongoing care for conditions affecting the lymphatic system.

Each session is adapted to your individual needs. Treatment may focus on specific areas of swelling, surgical sites, or lymphatic pathways depending on your symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. MLD can be used as part of supportive care for lymphedema, as well as for post-surgical swelling, temporary fluid retention, and general lymphatic maintenance.

Whether you are recovering from a procedure, managing ongoing swelling, or simply looking for regular lymphatic support, MLD provides a gentle, therapeutic approach that works with your body's natural lymphatic system.

MLD Common Conditions:

  • Lymphedema 

  • Sinusitis

  • Allergies

  • Recovery from fractures or hematomas

  • Tendonitis

  • Tennis elbow/Golfer's elbow

  • Eczema

  • Preparation for and recovery from surgery
