Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Gentle Support for the Lymphatic System
During manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), the medical massage therapist focuses their full attention on the lymphatic system of the human body. This gentle yet targeted technique is designed to mobilize excess lymph fluid in the body and support its natural drainage.
Targeted Treatment of Swelling
By applying MLD, the therapist can effectively reduce swelling that has accumulated in the connective tissue. This is especially useful for edema or after surgical procedures, to accelerate the healing process and improve well-being.
Special Techniques for Maximum Effectiveness
The medical massage therapist utilizes the suction effect of the cardiovascular system. With targeted pressure and stroking movements, lymph fluid is gently drawn out of the tissue to alleviate blockages in the lymphatic system. This technique improves circulation and promotes the removal of toxins..
