Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specific technique that stimulates the body’s lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is the body’s first line of defence against disease and infection; it transports metabolic waste, excess fluid, toxins and bacteria out of the body.

An MLD involves light mechanical stretching of the connective tissue. This moves the lymphatic fluid under the skin towards the lymphatic nodes, where fluid is filtered. An MLD is great for detoxification, reducing oedema due to injury or lymphedema, and is great pre and post surgery. An MLD will also improve your immune system; according to research conducted by Bruno Chikly, the body will produce 30% more immunocompetent cells post MLD treatment.
