Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Service Description

MLD is a gentle manual treatment focusing on draining the lymphatic system . The lymphatic system is extremely important as it cleanses our body from excess fluid, hormones, cellular waste, bacteria - it breaks down proteins and other cellular debris. Unlike blood circulation, the lymph has no pump, and therefore the lymphatic system solely relies on physical movement, manual drainage, or hydrostatic pressure when obstructed. MLD is a very specific and concise practice, not to be confused with other massage modalities. • Causes of lymph dysfunction: Poor lifestyle, nutrition & lack of physical movement, however there are plenty of other reasons for poor lymphatic system : - Cancer, and cancer treatments where lymph nodes have been removed - Filariasis - Vascular Surgery - Lipectomy - Deep Vein Thrombosis - Other health conditions 📌All of the above are reasons why the lymph system may be clogged and any treatment must firstly be approved by your physisian ✅ Symptoms & Results of poor lymphatic system most offenly treated with MLD 🔹Edema - swelling and building up of lymph, causing pain and stiffness 🔹Scar Tissue & Adhesions - the stagnant lymph hardens when stuck for a long time, affecting your range of motion 🔹Illness & Toxin Build Up - as waste is not properly drained, slowly breeding disease 🔹Low energy levels 🔹Fluid Retention / Cellulite / Weight gain 🔹Constipation & Bloating 🔹Skin Conditions like acne, rosacea
