​

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised, light-touch massage technique designed to stimulate the bodys lymphatic system.

​

The lymphatic system plays an important role in fluid balance, immune function, and recovery. When its under strain (for example after surgery, illness, or as part of a chronic condition), you may notice swelling, discomfort, tightness, or a feeling of heaviness.

​

MLD aims to encourage lymph flow, support circulation, and help the body clear excess fluid more effectively.

​

Benefits of lymphatic drainage massage

People often choose MLD because it can help:

• Reduce swelling and fluid retention

• Support post-surgical recovery

• Ease feelings of heaviness, tightness or discomfort

• Encourage circulation and tissue healing

• Support relaxation and overall wellbeing

​

Its a gentle treatment, but highly specific and its important that its delivered by properly trained practitioners.
