Benefits of Lymphatic massage (MLD)

Lymphatic massage relieves swelling as it speeds healing

Swelling is your body’s natural response to damage and disease. For healing to progress your swelling must be addressed. That’s where lymphatic massage comes in.


Lymphatic massage (also known as MLD or manual lymphatic drainage massage) is a mainstay in the care and management of chronic swelling conditions including lymphedema and lipedema. It's an effective therapeutic approach for acute swelling concerns too.
