Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a therapy which is designed to improve the functioning of the lymphatic system.
This is primarily achieved through gentle, rhytmical movements of the skin which stimulate the contraction of the lymphatic vessels.
As a result a greater amount of the metabolic waste products and excess fluid are being removed from the body's tissue and enter the lympahtic system. The fluid is now known as lymph nodes, where it is cleansed of dead cells, bacteria and other waste products. The clean lymph is then returned to the blood stream.

A well functioning lymphatic system contributes to healthy body tissue and plays an important part in the body's immune responses.
