Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) utilizes gentle, precise techniques that encourages the natural movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. MLD supports the reduction of swelling (edema), enhances circulation, and aids in the removal of metabolic waste and excess fluid. This session is designed to focus on a specific area of discomfort and is performed by a therapist who is trained to ensure safe and effective outcomes.
