Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, hands-on massage technique designed to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid around the body. The lymphatic system, which is a crucial part of your immune system, helps remove toxins, waste, and excess fluid from the tissues. Unlike blood circulation, lymph doesn’t have a pump, so it relies on muscle movement and body positioning to flow.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses slow, rhythmic strokes and light pressure to stimulate the lymphatic vessels and promote the flow of lymph. It’s often used after surgery or injury because it can reduce swelling, speed up recovery, and improve overall healing.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage, especially post-surgery:

1. Reduces Swelling: Surgery often results in excess fluid buildup, leading to swelling. Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps to drain this excess fluid, reducing swelling and discomfort.

2. Promotes Healing: By improving lymphatic flow, MLD encourages the removal of waste products and promotes the healing of tissues. It also helps deliver nutrients and oxygen to damaged areas, speeding up recovery.

3. Reduces Scar Tissue Formation: Lymphatic Drainage can help prevent or minimize the formation of scar tissue by improving circulation and tissue health.

4. Boosts Immune Function: The lymphatic system plays a key role in immune health. Stimulating it with manual lymphatic drainage can help improve overall immune function and enhance the body’s ability to fight infection.

5. Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Many patients experience pain and discomfort after surgery. Lymphatic Drainage can help to reduce this by reducing swelling and improving blood flow to the affected areas.

MLD is a safe, non-invasive therapy that can be a helpful part of a post-surgery recovery plan as soon as 24 hours post op. Manual Lymphatic Drainage should always be performed by a trained therapist to ensure proper technique and avoid complications.
