Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, hands-on technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, enhancing the natural drainage of lymph fluid from the tissues. Developed by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s, this method promotes detoxification, reduces swelling, and helps improve circulation. It is particularly beneficial for individuals recovering from surgery, suffering from chronic conditions, or experiencing lymphedema.

What to Expect During a Treatment:
- Initial Consultation:Your treatment will begin with a thorough assessment by a qualified practitioner. They will discuss your medical history, any current health issues, and your goals for treatment. This will help tailor the MLD session to your specific needs.
- Gentle Techniques:The treatment involves light, rhythmic strokes and specialized techniques to encourage lymph flow. The practitioner will use their hands to create gentle pressure, focusing on areas where lymph fluid may be stagnant.
- Duration and Frequency:MLD sessions typically last between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your individual treatment plan. The frequency of sessions will be determined based on your specific needs, which may range from once a week to several times a week during the initial stages of treatment.
- Post-Treatment Guidance:After your session, the practitioner may provide recommendations for maintaining lymphatic health, which could include hydration tips, light exercises, and self-care strategies.
