Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialized form of bodywork 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 containing a multitude of white blood cells - it helps your body to fight infections and disease. Proper 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 is congested. Likewise, if you've had a recent injury or surgery, 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 such as increased swelling, slow recovery or ill health. Manual Lymphatic Drainage can help to restore your body's natural capacity to detoxify, leaving you feeling happier, lighter and healthier.

Conditions that Benefit from Lymphatic Drainage Massage:

1.) Surgical Recovery - Surgery can overwhelm the lymphatic system. This can lead to swelling, increased scarring, uneven or rough skin and slow recovery. 
​
  • Pre-Surgery - 2-4 sessions prior to a scheduled surgery can help ensure the lymphatic system is clear and working optimally before surgery. With reduced toxins and better circulation of lymph, this treatment can help prevent complications and speed recovery outcomes.
 
  • Post-Surgery - It is recommended to receive lymphatic drainage sessions once or twice a week after surgery to speed healing. Manual Lymphatic Drainage can ease swelling and pain, prevent excessive scar tissue from forming under the skin, ease lumps and bumps and assist your immune system in healing. This massage technique helps activate the body's built-in healing mechanisms to aid recovery. 

2.) Pain, 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 regulates 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 8-12 treatments will yield the best results for these chronic conditions.

3.) Edema/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 or midwife is required for this service.

4.) General Detoxification & Wellness - Are you 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 sessions can help your body to function better and to feel at its best. By removing toxins, your skin and tissue will feel more supple and less puffy and most people feel more energized and vibrant after receiving a series of sessions. A series of about 4-6 treatments will yield the best results.

What conditions should use caution when receiving manual lymphatic drainage (ask your doctor):
  • ​Kidney conditions
  • Acute infections
  • Heart conditions
  • Blood clots
  • Undergoing active cancer treatment

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!

Note: Increased urination several days after your session is normal and is the lymphatic system's way of eliminating excess lymph and toxins
