Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD)

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural detox process. Unlike deep tissue massage, MLD uses light, rhythmic strokes to encourage lymph flow and ease fluid build-up.

​

Benefits of MLD

• Reduces lymphedema and swelling after surgery, cancer treatment, or injury

• Relieves heaviness, discomfort, and stiffness in affected areas

• Supports recovery from surgery and trauma by improving lymph flow

• May help with conditions such as fibromyalgia, chronic venous insufficiency, and post-radiation swelling

• Promotes relaxation and boosts overall wellbeing

​

How It Works

MLD gently moves fluid toward healthy lymph nodes, clearing blocked pathways and improving drainage. Sessions usually begin with breathing techniques, followed by light circular, pumping, or sweeping motions to redirect fluid.
