Manual Lymphatic Drainage benefits
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specific technique that is performed by a trained therapist, using light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the lymphatic system to increase the lymph fluid through the body, promoting health cell turn over and hormonal regulation. MLD can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including:
Lymphedema
Breast cancer
Cellulitis
Edema
Inflammatory skin conditions
Post-surgery recovery
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) techniques are extremely gentle
In fact, I apply the principles of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) to many of my regular treatments. However, a full MLD treatment session needs to be 90 minutes long because it takes that long to detail the entire body with MLD techniques.
Benefits of MLD
In addition to reducing swelling and improving circulation, MLD has a number of other benefits, including:
Can help to reduce pain and inflammation
Can improve skin health
Can help to boost the immune system
Can promote relaxation and stress relief
How often should you get MLD?
The frequency of MLD treatments will vary depending on the individual's needs. For some conditions, such as lymphedema, MLD may be needed several times per week. For others, such as post-surgery recovery, MLD may only be needed once or twice a week.
Is MLD safe?
MLD is a safe and effective treatment for many conditions. It is generally well-tolerated, and there close to no side effects. Discomfort during the treatment should not occur.
How to find the MLD therapist
If you are considering MLD, it is important to talk to your doctor or a qualified therapist. They can help you determine if MLD is right for you and can recommend a qualified therapist in your area.
Client Example
An example of 1 client, lost 1.5 kg over a week after getting an MLD treatment and followed up with another MLD treatment. She reported feeling much more lively and in less pain.
Conclusion
MLD is a gentle, effective treatment that can help to improve a variety of health conditions. If you are looking for a natural way to improve your health and well-being, MLD may be a good option for you.
