Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (MLD) is a gentle non-evasive technique that assists the body to cleanse, stimulate and reactivate the lymphatic system. It is a scientifically and medically based manual treatment that has many benefits.
The use of a wave like hand technique works with the natural rythym of the flow of lymph fluid, assisting the fluid balance in the body reducing swelling and improving tissue health.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage can help activate a sluggish immune system, and feather light touch is deeply relaxing and ideal for those with a painful soft tissue injury.
The Lymphatic System keeps the fluid balance within the soft tissues and evacuates excess fluids, toxins, bacteria and waste products from around the tissue cells.
It is also the site for the production of the important B and T immunocompetant cells, which assist the body in fighting off infection.
