Manual Lymphatic Drainage is both remedial and preventative and
works on our body’s natural immune and waste system. MLD Therapy concentrates
on improving the efficient removal of waste and excess fluid that the body is
naturally unable to cope with. Unlike the circulatory system which has the
heart to pump the blood around the body our lymphatic system relies on muscle
movement, breathing, gravity and arterial pulse to promote the flow of lymph
throughout the body. If an individual is unable to function suitably due to illness,
trauma, disease or surgery then the lymphatic system will slow down leaving it
inept it to operate at its optimum level. The treatment consists of gentle
rhythmic movements and light massage concentrated in specific areas to improve
lymphangiomotorcity. MLD Therapy is popular in Europe being prescribed for post
surgery especially for cancer and trauma patients and often used to promote
scar healing and faster recovery times after cosmetic surgery.
