About Manual Lymph Drainage

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a light massage technique that stimulates the lymph system and redirects the flow of the fluid buildup to properly functioning lymph nodes.

MLD is often associated with a condition known as lymphedema. However, it can treat the symptoms of many different conditions such as lipedema, cancer-related surgery, trauma, ulcers, wounds and burns, pre/post-surgical procedures, vascular issues, Cystic Fibrosis, and arthritis, to name a few.

We are known for our specialty in MLD. All our therapists have been trained by The Vodder School.

If you have swelling and feel you could benefit from MLD, please contact us.
