Experience the rejuvenated Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Feeling sluggish, under the weather, or not performing your best athletically? Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a very specialized form of therapy. It’s a specialized soft tissue treatment that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining fluid balance, promoting blood flow, allowing the lymphatic fluid and blood to meet, and supporting healthy immune function.

A certified, specially-trained therapist uses various light, rhythmic techniques on the client’s body during an MLD session. Applied without oils, these light pressure movements stimulate lymphatic drainage without compressing vessels, allowing lymph to flow through tissues and nodes. MLD is a truly relaxing, rejuvenating experience suitable for ages newborn, seniors, and elders.

Commonly called MLD, this is a specialized form of soft tissue massage that gently helps the lymphatic system maintain the body’s lymph fluid balance. It also aids blood flow and enables the circulatory and lymphatic systems to connect. Lymph nodes, which filter out debris, are located throughout the body, with major groups in the neck, underarms, and groin. This lymph node network ensures lymph passes through as many nodes as possible before returning to circulation.
