What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage ?

Lymphatic Drainage ( MLD ) massage is a very light, gentle touch massage especially useful following surgery. The light strokes of MLD stimulates the drainage of excess lymph fluid which can collect in the tissues causing puffiness and reducing movement.

Lymphatic massage works to gently move this excess lymph fluid towards the lymph nodes and into the circulatory system This leads to less swelling, and heaviness, improved healing and improved movement san dfunction.
