Manual Lymphatic Drainage: A Gentle Way to Support Your Body

If you’ve been experiencing swelling, fluid retention or simply feeling like your body needs a little extra support, Manual Lymphatic Drainage may be worth considering.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, or MLD, is a gentle, pain-free massage technique designed to support the body’s lymphatic system. Using light, rhythmic movements, the treatment encourages lymphatic fluid to move through the body towards the lymph nodes, where it can be processed and filtered.

As well as helping with fluid retention and swelling, the gentle movements can have a calming effect on the nervous system.


Who can MLD help?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage can be used for a range of conditions, including:

  • Oedema and fluid retention, including puffy legs and ankles

  • Post-mastectomy swelling

  • Pre- and postoperative swelling

  • Scar tissue

  • Chronic fatigue, migraine and hay fever

  • Stress, anxiety and tension
