Lymphatic Drainage

Developed in Europe in 1932, by Dr. Emil and Estrid Vodder, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD®) is a safe and effective, yet gentle approach to cleansing the body's tissues. MLD drains excessive fluid from the tissues and has also a detoxifying effect. It can benefit a healthy person as well as be applied to more than 60 different conditions...

A skin technique only, MLD involves small, repetitive, circular movements that affect many body systems in very positive ways. These effects include the nervous system, smooth muscles, excess fluid drainage of loose connective tissues, and pain reduction. Part of the Combined Decongestive Therapy (CDT) treatment for Lymphedema, MLD is an extremely relaxing massage, especially if performed by thoroughly trained medical professional.
