Lymphatic drainage massage is a manual technique used to stimulate the flow of lymph (a clear fluid that circulates through the body via the lymphatic system, which plays an important role in our immune system). Through the application of soft pressure and long strokes, an MLD practitioner aims to relieve swelling, remove toxins, and improve one’s overall health.
The lymphatic system comprises vessels and nodes with lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, waste products, and immune system elements. Situated throughout the body, lymph nodes filter all this debris.
We offer MLD treatment at our massage clinics in Bournemouth, Dorset, and it involves the application of soft pressure and long strokes in the form of gentle, rhythmical hand movements at the skin level to influence the direction and speed of lymphatic flow. Our MLD practitioners use these techniques to relieve swelling, remove toxins, and improve one’s overall health. With a targeted approach, they work with the lymphatic system’s natural pathways, often starting with unaffected areas to create space for fluid to move from swollen areas.
BENEFITS OF MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)
MLD is an effective treatment for patients experiencing aches and pains, as well as those undergoing post-cosmetic surgery recovery. However, it also provides many other fantastic benefits, such as:
“I have had 2 MLD massages at Back2Wellbeing and they have been amazing with visible results. My practitioner, Brigitta, really knows her stuff and you can tell how much she loves the work she does. Brigitta is an incredible therapist who has done lymphatic drainage and reflexology for me following injuries and surgery. I cannot recommend Back2Wellbeing and Brigitta enough; she really does have magic hands. Thank you.”
Laura (Regular Manual Lymphatic Drainage Client)“My wife had Oedema so her ankle was swollen and bruised. She couldn’t stand nor walk properly. I took her to Back2Wellbeing and her practitioner performed Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) on her. The next day the swelling was gone and with less bruising and she could walk and stand. Amazing service! I would highly recommend this very professional and hygienic clinic.”
N Fernández (Manual Lymphatic Drainage Client)“I specifically wanted an MLD massage and searched online. I read countless reviews until I discovered Back2Wellbeing. I had a Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage, which including some hot stones therapy. I felt amazing and the difference in my body in just one session was astounding. I am already looking forward to my next appointment.”
