Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialised massage technique that targets the lymphatic system to promote the natural drainage of lymph fluid from the body tissues.  Manual lymphatic drainage involves gentle, rhythmic massage movements that stimulate the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes to improve lymph circulation. The therapist uses light pressure and specific hand movements to encourage the movement of lymph fluid towards the lymph nodes, where it can be filtered and processed by the body. During an MLD session, the therapist may focus on specific areas of the body where lymphatic congestion or swelling is present, such as the limbs, abdomen, or face. The techniques used in MLD are gentle and non-invasive, making it suitable for individuals of all ages and health conditions.
