MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) or Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle, relaxing form of massage that helps the body's lymphatic system get moving again while reinforcing immune function.
If your system gets overtaxed because of ill health, surgery, stress, poor diet, or lack of exercise, it can get sluggish and not do its job as efficiently. Lymph plays a major role in the body's immune process, so it makes sense that by waking up the lymphatic system you dramatically improve your chances for staying healthy. The lymphatic system is a vital component of the body's immune function
With manual lymph massage (MLD); the system gets stimulated through delicate gentle, slow movements. The light, slow pressure mimics the pulse and rhythm of the lymphatic system itself and gets the vessels to respond as they should. Each stroke slightly moves the skin in the direction of the lymphatic flow to encourage the drainage of fluid and waste. The delicate nature of each stroke can sometimes make it feel as if nothing is happening, especially for those who are used to deep bodywork. But it's exactly that noninvasive quality of lymph massage that makes it work. The results can be surprisingly profound.
The massage always has fluid moving toward a healthy lymph node. MLD can be combined with other forms of bodywork, including deep tissue for a profound effect.
Post-Surgical Massage helps the body recover physical and emotionally from surgery. It helps emotionally to understand the different phases of healing the body goes through.
Phase 1 techniques help reduce swelling and bruising, increase circulation, and can help reduce potential infection. I use medical lymphatic Drainage massage techniques and anti-inflammatory essential oils to assist your body’s natural healing.
Phase 2 helps with scar tissue breakdown for smooth healing and reduction of potential adhesions.
Good for all surgeries, especially: cesarean, knee, hip surgery, abdominal, cosmetic surgery.
