Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised light touch treatment which has cleansing, relaxing and pain relieving effects, stimulating your lymphatic system throughout your body.

MLD is used to promote the functioning of the lymphatic system by removing metabolic waste, excess water and toxins from tissue via the lymph vessels which connect to the circulatory system.

Lymph flow is stimulated by a number of things including your circulatory system, peristalsis (digestion), respiration (breathing) and exercise.  If any of these are limited, we can boost lymphatic movement by applying light pressure to specific areas of your body moving the lymph through the lymphatic system to the lymph nodes where it is filtered and processed and then excreted out of your body through your circulatory system.

MLD is extremely gentle and feels wonderfully relaxing.  It is very light touch to stimulate the movement of lymph through the superficial lymph vessels which sit just below your skin.  MLD can move you into a highly relaxed state from the slow rhythmic movements and you may fall asleep during your treatment.
