Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized therapy designed to stimulate the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. Zander utilizes the Vodder Technique that encourages healthy lymph flow which supports your immune system, helps reduce swelling, and promotes overall wellness. This gentle, light-pressure technique can benefit anyone along the health spectrum. At its core, MLD works by lightly stretching and moving the layers of skin to guide interstitial fluid toward your regional lymph nodes—where fats, water, proteins, and cellular waste are processed. In simple terms: think of your lymphatic system as a network of highways. MLD uses gentle, rhythmic movements to guide the “traffic” smoothly back to its proper destination. Clothing: MLD can be performed over clothing—even a sweatshirt—but it is most effective applied directly on the skin. Before your first treatment, you’ll be asked a few questions about your health and goals, and ensure there are no contraindications. After Your Visit: Drink extra water before and after your session Stay hydrated throughout the week Rest as needed—many people find they sleep more easily after MLD
