What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

The lymphatic system is a vital body system that carries blood back to your heart as well as being essential for your body's immune response.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a popular and effective technique to encourage the flow of fluids through your lymphatic system, promoting the healthy circulatory and immunity functions of your body. It's effective in treating a number of conditions (see below).

MLD is also intensely relaxing! It's very light touch, working just below your skin layer, and therefore perfect if you prefer your massage to not be too deep.

What is MLD useful for?

Lymphatic drainage is used to treat a wide range of conditions such as:

• Glandular fever, ME (Chronic Fatigue), Migraine, Sinus, Hay fever

• Recurring infections (colds, flu, ear, chest)
