Manual Lymph Drainage Massage MLD

MLD is an advanced gentle form of massage carried out by fully trained practitioners. The techniques used are designed to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid (the fluid in the space around the cells). The position and direction of stretch with each MLD movement is designed to  follow the anatomical route of the lymphatic system or to diver fluid away from congested areas to healthy lymph vessels that will eventually drain into the venous system.
​
Your therapist will explain the treatment to you fully.

Other Clinical Therapy Treatments

​MLD Manual Lymphatic Drainage (advanced)

​Aim is to increase reabsorption of accumulated protein-rich fluid and promote relaxation. Appointment duration approx 45 min – 60 min a session.
​

​Lymphoedema Bandaging

​Reduces filtration rate, prevents re-accumulation of evacuated oedema fluid, breaks down deposits of indurated tissue and improves the efficiency of muscle and joint pumps. Bandaging usually follows MLD treatment.
