What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, rhythmic massage technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid through the body’s lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays a key role in immune function, fluid balance, and the removal of waste and toxins from the body. For those diagnosed with the life long condition of lymphoedema, MLD can form a key component of the management strategy alongside using compression, multilayer bandaging, kinesio taping and self lymphatic drainage techniques.
"Lymphoedema is a swelling that develops as a result of an impaired lymphatic system. This may be as a result of the lymphatic system not developing properly or through damage or trauma (such as surgery). It can affect any part of the body but is most commonly seen in an arm or a leg. Although thought to be relatively uncommon, recent research suggests that 6 in every 1,000 people in the UK may be affected by this condition". From LSN website 2026.
As well as those with a diagnosis of lymphoedema or lipoedema, this treatment is suitable for a range of individuals, including post-surgical patients, especially after cosmetic surgery, orthopaedic procedures, or C-sections.
Having studied with the Lymphoedema Training Academy I am qualified in the Fluoroscopy Guided MLD technique. Please contact me to discuss your needs so a package so that a package of care can be provided.
