Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), also known as Lymphatic Drainage Massage, is a gentle, specialised treatment that encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Using light, rhythmic techniques, MLD can help reduce swelling, support recovery, and promote overall wellbeing.

Unlike remedial massage, MLD uses very gentle pressure, making it suitable for those seeking a restorative treatment that supports healing, recovery, and relaxation.

MLD may assist with:

• Reducing fluid retention and chronic oedema (swelling)
• Supporting recovery after surgery or injury
• Decreasing inflammation by helping remove pooled fluid and inflammatory proteins from tissues
• Improving comfort, mobility, and range of motion
• Promoting relaxation and reducing stress by activating the body's parasympathetic ("rest and digest") nervous system
