MLD therapy
YOUR DAY JUST GOT BETTER WITH MLD THERAPY
The big three: pain, swelling and reduced mobility. They complicate most new and chronic health problems and holdup wellbeing and healing. MLD therapy brings a change.
That change is centered in the lymphatic system, which is your body’s base for immunity and healing. When it’s damaged by illness, disease and physical trauma the big three make an appearance. MLD therapy stimulates lymph flow, helping it move through and around damaged areas. The result? Tissues decongest, inflammation, pain and swelling ease – and you feel and move better again.
Our clients come for assessment and care of a range of health concerns, including:
- Chronic swelling – from lymphedema and lipedema
- Acute pain and swelling – following an accident or injury
- Cancer and swelling – arising from biopsy, surgery, treatments
- Arthritis – joint pain, inflammation and mobility issues
- Back and neck problems – pain and flexibility challenges
- Breast health – including mastitis, cellulitis, fibrocystic breasts
- Chronic inflammation – e.g. related to fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 diabetes
- Post-surgery – from orthopedic fixes to trauma repairs
- Leg health – including pain/heaviness, edema, DVT, venous insufficiency
the benefits of lymphatic massage
Beyond edema relief and management there's so much more. What are your reasons for getting MLD?
Swelling and pain relief is at hand
MLD therapy engages the lymphatics for health and healing
MLD therapy is different, by design
Although ‘massage’ is in the name, lymphatic and traditional massage are quite different in terms of health goals and approach. MLD increases lymph flow to address swelling and promote healing. Lymphatic therapy techniques are distinct, using light pressure and applied in particular patterns to decongest tissues and calm pain. MLD therapists are specifically trained and certified to provide lymphatic work including manual lymphatic drainage and combined decongestive therapy. The MLD Clinic has specialized in providing lymphatic therapy for over two decades.
