Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
What to expect from your Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Massage Appointment
- All MLD appointments are 60 minutes long
- On your initial appointment an assessment of your area of concern/condition will be completed to make sure the techniques used are appropriate
- MLD techniques are specialised, very gentle pumping techniques to move the skin and make the lymphatic system to work harder. These speeds up the removal of excess fluid and waste products.
- MLD generally uses a light, painless pressure as your lymphatic vessels start shallow in the skin layer (dermis) and trained therapists know how to manipulate them, redirecting fluid away from swollen areas.
- No creams or gels are used
