Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

MLD is my specialty so if you are looking for Manual Lymphatic Drainage, you have come to the right place! MLD is a gentle and unique therapy designed to increase the movement of lymph and interstitial fluid. This technique stimulates the lymphatic system by using a gentle skin stretch in a specific pattern that works to direct fluid into the appropriate lymph nodes. It reduces swelling in the body by returning excess fluid to the circulatory system so it may be excreted from the body. This method can aid in reducing edema (swelling) caused by damage to the lymphatic system or reduced lymphatic flow, and can stimulate a parasympathetic response as well as create an analgesic effect.

A manual lymphatic massage can benefit most people, particularly those who have the following conditions:

  • Lymphedema – MLD is a key component to Lymphedema management.
  • Lyme Disease
  • Autoimmune disorders such as Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma
  • Neurological/Nervous system disorders
  • Post surgical Edema
  • Those looking to promote immune health.

There are times when MLD is not appropriate, this includes

  • Acute infections (several days after antibiotics have been started and symptoms are improving MLD may be permitted)
  • Untreated congestive heart failure
  • When a Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is present

Please don’t hesitate to call with any questions you may have regarding MLD treatment and if it is right for you. (916)521-2719
