What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, hands-on treatment that stimulates the lymphatic system to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance, supporting the immune system, and removing waste products from the body's tissues.
By encouraging healthy lymphatic flow, MLD can help reduce swelling, improve circulation, support healing, and promote relaxation. It is a gentle treatment that works with the body's natural processes and is tailored to your individual needs.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage may be beneficial for:
-
Post-surgical recovery (including cosmetic, orthopaedic, and cancer-related surgery)
-
Swelling and fluid retention (oedema)
-
Post mastectomy
-
Lymphoedema management
-
Pregnancy and postpartum swelling
-
Injury recovery, including bruising and inflammation
-
Scar management
-
Chronic venous insufficiency
-
Fatigue and general wellbeing
-
Supporting relaxation and stress reduction
A thorough assessment will be completed prior to treatment to ensure MLD is appropriate and safe for your individual circumstances.
