Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage in
Jacksonville, Florida
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Jacksonville, FL for surgical preparation and recovery, detoxification, pain relief and more
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that helps to open your body's natural detoxification pathways.
The lymphatic system is our body's natural "house cleaning" system. Lymph is a clear fluid that contains a multitude of white blood cells - it helps your body fight infections and disease. Good lymph flow helps to naturally increase circulation and remove cellular waste from the body as well as bacteria, viruses, excess fluids and other unwanted substances.
If you've been feeling sluggish, swollen, fatigued or prone to get sick easily, this could mean your lymphatic system isn't working optimally. Likewise, if you've had an injury or surgery recently, this can impair lymphatic flow.
Certain conditions such as injury, illness or surgery can compromise or overwhelm the body's lymphatic system, leading to complications, swelling, increased swelling, poor recovery or ill health. Manual lymphatic drainage can help to restore your body's natural capacity to detoxify, leaving you feeling happier, brighter and healthier.

Conditions that Benefit from Lymphatic Drainage Massage:
1.) Pre- or Post-Surgery - When the body undergoes surgery it can overwhelm the lymphatic system. This can lead to swelling, increased scarring, lumpy/bumpy skin and poor recovery.
2.) Painful Conditions, Autoimmune & Inflammatory Conditions - Health concerns like rheumatoid arthritis, MS, scleroderma, fibromyalgia and other systemic, painful and inflammatory conditions can benefit from lymphatic drainage massage. This type of treatment modulates the immune system and reduces inflammation by removing wastes, bacteria and viruses from the lymph nodes and lymph vessels, in turn, resulting in more normalized body function and less pain. A series of treatments will yield best results for these chronic conditions.
3.) Swelling in Pregnancy - Lymphatic drainage can assist with swollen and painful limbs during pregnancy. It can also help if you have a scheduled cesarean, just as it would benefit any surgical procedure. A release from your ob-gyn is required for this service.
4.) General Detoxification & Wellness - If you're feeling weighed down, sluggish, like you're holding on to fluids or your body just isn't processing things properly, a series of manual lymphatic drainage massages can help your body to function better and you to feel at your best. By removing toxins, your skin and tissue will feel more supple and less puffy and many people feel more energized and vibrant after receiving a series of treatments. A series of about 4-6 treatments will yield best results.

What to Expect After Your MLD Session:
You may feel lighter and brighter right away following your first session! However, some people may experience some mild detox symptoms such as headaches, nausea, fatigue or lightheadedness. These should pass shortly, as it's just a sign that your body is releasing toxins. Make sure to stay well hydrated. Gentle movement such as walking or stretching can assist the detox. As you move through your series of treatments you should be feeling much better!

1.) Pre- or Post-Surgery - When the body undergoes surgery it can overwhelm the lymphatic system. This can lead to swelling, increased scarring, lumpy/bumpy skin and poor recovery.
- It is recommended to receive 2-3 sessions pre-surgery to make sure the lymph is clear and flowing smoothly before going into surgery. By having less toxins in your system and better circulation of oxygen, this treatment can prevent complications in surgery and help speed recovery times and outcomes.
- It is recommended to receive lymphatic massage once or twice a week after surgery to speed healing. This massage can ease swelling and pain, prevent excessive scar tissue from forming under the skin, and ease lumps and bumps. This massage technique helps to activate the body's built-in healing mechanisms to aid recovery. If you're 6 weeks or less post-surgery and haven't been released from your doctor, we require a written doctor's note that you can receive MLD massage.
