MLD has a decongestive effect and can treat most body swelling (except heart and kidney-related) by increasing the lymphatic vessels to pump and drain waste up to 20 times faster. This treatment helps to reduce swelling and restore normal tissue condition when lymph pathways are impaired.
The treatment involves very light, rhythmic stretching movements applied to specific areas of the body to encourage lymph flow. It is quite different from a massage; the pressure used in MLD is much lighter.
Specialised techniques are applied on the skin to enhance the movement of tissue fluid into the lymphatic system. This system, known as the superficial lymphatic system, transports the fluid into a deeper network, referred to as the deep lymphatic system, before it is finally drained into the subclavian vein at the base of the neck. Each treatment is adapted to the individual’s needs and condition.
Generally, the first few treatments remove waste products from the body, and further treatments activate the lymphatic system.
An initial treatment plan will be discussed on the first visit, and further weekly/monthly/yearly treatments may be recommended.
MLD has received scientific validation as a component of decongestive therapy in managing lymphoedema (chronic swelling) and other forms of oedema. Additionally, manual lymphatic drainage shows promise in treating and benefiting a broader range of health conditions and injuries, including:

Medical Lymph Taping involves applying specialised elastic tape to the skin in specific patterns to support lymphatic flow. The tape gently lifts the skin, creating channels that help guide excess fluid toward functioning lymph vessels and nodes.
