Lymphatic Drainage
Developed in France in the 1930’s by Dr Emil & Estrid Vodder, Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, non-invasive manual technique that has a powerful effect on the body's systems. It helps by draining congestion & swelling using a pumping circling massage technique in the direction of the flow of lymph. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels that carry substances vital to the defence of the body and aids the removal of waste products.
With a light butterfly touch pressure is applied to the skin & gently stretched to encourage fluid to move in the direction of lymph flow. This has a profound effect on the body’s nervous systems and can enhance recovery.
MLD is calming and relaxing and induces a sense of well-being. Treatment time will vary from between 30 & 90 mins. The goal of MLD is to normalise the oxygen supply and aid removal of depleted oxygen, if you’re feeling tired & weak then MLD will nake you feel strong and alive…
