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 clinics in Bournemouth, Dorset and it involves the application of soft pressure and long stroke in the form of gentle, rhythmical hand movements at 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.
