Healing for your body, mind and soul

Manual Lymphatic Drainage

 

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, gentle massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and enhance the natural flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. This slow, rhythmic therapy supports detoxification, reduces swelling, and promotes faster recovery by encouraging lymph circulation. MLD is deeply soothing, calming the nervous system while helping the body restore balance. It is widely used for both general wellness and targeted recovery after surgery or injury.



Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage


  • Reduces swelling and fluid retention by encouraging efficient lymph movement.
     
  • Supports the immune system by assisting the body’s natural detoxification processes.
     
  • Promotes faster healing after surgery, injury, or inflammation by reducing congestion and improving circulation.
     
  • Eases discomfort and heaviness associated with lymphedema and other lymphatic conditions.
     
  • Calms the nervous system, helping reduce stress, tension, and fatigue.
     


When MLD Is Especially Helpful


Manual Lymphatic Drainage is commonly recommended by plastic surgeons following procedures such as abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), liposuction, and breast surgery. The technique helps minimise post-surgical swelling, fibrosis, and discomfort while supporting a smoother, more comfortable recovery.
MLD is also highly beneficial after a caesarean section (C-section), helping ease abdominal swelling, support tissue healing, and reduce discomfort as mobility gradually returns.

Additionally, individuals recovering from orthopedic surgeries—such as knee replacements, hip replacements, or arthroscopic procedures—often experience significant relief as MLD helps manage post-operative swelling and supports improved range of movement.

Beyond medical settings, MLD is an excellent therapy for general wellbeing, assisting with fatigue, fluid retention, sinus congestion, stress, and overall detoxification.


In Summary


Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle yet powerful therapy that supports the body’s natural healing and cleansing processes. Its ability to reduce swelling, promote recovery, and calm the nervous system makes it valuable for both everyday wellness and post-surgical care. Whether you are seeking relief from discomfort, support after an operation, or simply a nurturing treatment to enhance your overall health, MLD provides a restorative and effective approach. Each session is tailored to your needs to ensure a safe, comfortable, and deeply beneficial experience.
