What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a therapeutic massage treatment aimed at stimulating the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from the tissues back toward the heart. Whether you are recovering from surgery, suffer from chronic illness, or simply want to maintain your body’s fluid balance and boost your immune system, MLD can offer significant benefits.
