Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage is a type of Clinical massage and is a very gentle, non-invasive, rhythmic treatment using a series of pumping actions to stimulate the lymphatic system. It therefore has a powerful cleansing effect, is extremely relaxing, and not only a great way to reduce fluid retention, but also a great detox.

Research in Australia, Europe and North America has proven its efficacy as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with other therapies. Developed in France in 1932 by Dr. Emil and Estrid Vodder MLD has grown to be the most well known manual technique to assist lymph flow and aid in drainage of tissues.

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle manual technique used to help increase lymph flow. MLD is a skin stretching technique used to mimic the Lymphatic system’s natural movement. The movement is relaxing to the point of being almost hypnotic. The body switches into parasympathetic nervous system which is extremely relaxing as well as where our bodies go to do our own healing and resting. The skin is stretched and torqued in a specific manner, based on scientific, physiological principles that have proven to encourage lymph flow. It also has profound effects on systems in the body.

The treatment is also fantastic post operative, on sprained or strained joints and swollen ankles during pregnancy.

If you are visiting us for your first Lymphatic Drainage massage, we will book you in for a 90 minutes first appointment assessment. This allows your therapist to take a thorough medical history and assessment before proceeding with your treatment. The treatment uses slow, controlled and rhythmic massage techniques to stimulate the Lymphatic system.
