Massage Therapy
Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a feather-light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of lymphatic fluid out of the swollen area. It should not be confused with a traditional massage nor for its more visible cousin, Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage. MLD specifically focuses on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Therapy is gently applied to your unaffected areas first, making it possible for the fluid to move out of the affected area, or “decongest” the region. MLD helps open the remaining functioning lymph collectors and move protein and fluid into them, as well as to help speed up lymph fluid flow through the lymphatics. This treatment type is often best for preventative and post-operative concerns, post-traumatic and post-surgical edema, as well as in palliative care.
