What is a Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Massage therapy plays an essential role in helping to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and provide relief for a number of conditions. MLD massage is specifically used to help with lymphatic drainage and promote healthy lymph flow. It is a gentle form of massage designed to stimulate the natural movement of the lymphatic system.

A manual lymphatic drainage treatment helps to enhance the body’s lymphatic system, which removes toxins and waste from the body. MLD massage helps to reduce swelling by stimulating lymph flow, which can improve the overall drainage of the area. It also helps to improve circulation, decrease inflammation, and promote healing.

During a manual lymph drainage massage session, your therapist will use soft, rhythmic strokes to move the lymphatic fluid through your body. The technique involves light pressure on different body areas in a circular motion. This helps stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid and encourages it to move more rapidly throughout the massaged area.

They may also use a variety of other techniques, such as cross-fiber friction and compression, depending on your unique needs. By targeting various areas, a connective tissue massage can help improve overall circulation, reduce inflammation and increase the healing of damaged tissues.
