Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Giving your body a helping hand...
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a type of massage that stimulates the ly
mph through the one-way drainage pathways within the body. It is gentler that some other forms of massage and uses flowing rhythmic movements.
Lymph is a clear fluid that moves water, protein, cells and electrolytes around the body. by stimulation the lymphatic system the tissues of the body as assisted i the process of clearing excess fluid. It is a superficial massage on the lymphatic drainage paths and it is thought that by applying gentle pressure to superficial lympth vessels the deeper lymph vessels will also be influenced.
One aim of the massage is to reduce swelling (oedema) by increasing lymphatic drainage. The softer the tissues or the more severe the oedema, the lighter the pressure and the slower the movements.
