What is the goal of MLD?

This technique not only has a local decongestive effect, but also provides a soothing and pain-relieving impact on the entire tissue. The goal is to enhance natural lymph circulation, relieve pressure, and ease the affected areas of the body.

Who is MLD for?

Manual lymphatic drainage is suitable for individuals experiencing swelling, fluid retention, or a feeling of tightness in the tissue - often following injuries, surgeries, or in cases of chronic lymphatic or venous conditions.

Commonly used for:

1

Post-surgical swelling (e.g. after knee, shoulder, or breast surgery)
