What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized light-touch technique that follows the pathways of the lymphatic system. Unlike traditional massage, which foscuses primarily on muscles and deeper tissues, MLD uses precise, gentle movement of lymph fluid throughout the body.

~Reduce temporary swelling and feelings of fluid congestion

~Support recovery after appropriate surgical procedures (with your physican's approval)

~Promote deep relaxation and help calm the nervous system

~Leave you feeling lighter, more comfortable and refreshed


Because every body is different, each treatment is customized to your individual goals and health history. During your consultation, we'll discuss whether Manual Lymphatic Drainage is appropriate for your specific needs.

~Recovering from cosmetic or orthopedic surgery (with medical clearance)
