Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the Gold Standard! It is gentle, very light, somewhat massage-like. It consists of using your hands, guiding the fluid in a specific direction and toward your Lymph Nodes. It helps decrease swelling, and pain, improves results, and helps prevent Fibrosis from occurring. Our bodies have many layers and systems, often they repair themselves. Over the years many have found that adding this modality has helped them greatly with a better healing response when using MLD. This helps stimulate your system to pump and move things right along instead of the fluid sitting in a specific place. MLD is great for those who have Chronic Inflammation issues or autoimmune disorders. For those who use MLD as a Wellness, it helps them keep the cellular waste moving and boosts their immune system, often resulting in not getting sick as often. Many people also use MLD when they are feeling sluggish, tired, and physically run down. Those with Lymphedema often are born with it and do not discover it until mid to later life but it also occurs from venous insufficiency and injuries. When Lymphedema develops, compression garments are also necessary to help manage this due to it not being resolved quickly.
