What is MLD?


Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is specially designed to improve the functioning of the lymphatic system. This is achieved by massage and special breathing exercises. The general sequence is

  • stimulation of lymph nodes
  • breathing exercises to stimulate deep lymphatic drainage
  • massage of chest, abdomen and back to clear central body areas
  • gentle, rhythmic strokes to assist drainage of limbs and/or head.
