Manual Lymph Drainage Treatment

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle massage technique to improve lymphatic circulation and reduce swelling.

Description

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a specialized and gentle massage technique designed to improve lymphatic circulation and alleviate swelling associated with lymphedema, edema, post-surgical recovery, and certain types of cancer.

By targeting the lymphatic system, MLD promotes the natural flow of lymph and can relieve symptoms while enhancing overall well-being.

Common Symptoms of Lymphedema

  • Swelling, usually in the legs or arms
  • A feeling of heaviness or tightness in the affected limb
  • Reduced range of motion in the affected limb
  • Aching or discomfort in the affected limb
  • Hardening and thickening of the skin in the affected area
  • Repeated infections in the affected limb
  • Folding or indentations in the skin when pressed (pitting edema)
  • In severe cases, formation of hard, fluid-filled lumps under the skin (fibrosis)

Potential Results

  • Reduced swelling and discomfort: By promoting the flow of lymph, MLD massage can help to reduce swelling and discomfort in the affected limb.
  • Improved range of motion: MLD massage can help to reduce fibrosis, the hard lumps that can form under the skin in advanced stages of lymphedema, which can improve the overall appearance of the affected limb and increase range of motion.
  • Boosted immune system: By moving lymph and immune cells throughout the body, MLD massage can help to boost the immune system and improve overall health.
  • Improved overall appearance of the affected limb: By reducing fibrosis and swelling, MLD massage can improve the overall appearance of the affected limb.
  • Improved mental and emotional well-being: The relief of pain and discomfort can lead to an improvement in mental and emotional well-being
  • Improved physical function: By reducing swelling and improving range of motion, MLD massage can improve the overall function of the affected limb and increase the patient's ability to perform daily activities.
