Manual Lymphatic Drainage

MLD is a type of gentle massage which encourages lymph flow in the body. It involves light, rhythmical hand movement and precise techniques and pressure.

The massage works at skin level to influence the direction and speed of lymphatic flow, encouraging the lymph away from the swollen area.
