Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, therapeutic massage treatment. The massage uses light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph and reduce toxins in your body.

Manual Lymphatic drainage or MLD is often used for relief of arthritis, orthopedic injuries, knee or hip surgery, systemic sclerosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and swelling and fatigue associated with menopause.

In surgery patients this technique is used to alleviate pain, reduce discomfort and prevent fibrosis.This non-invasive technique avoids open wounds, incisions and skin injuries.
