LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE Massage

Lymphatic Drainage Massage or Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a type of massage which encourages the natural circulation of the lymph through the body. The lymph system depends on peristalsis and the movement of skeletal muscles to squeeze fluid through lymph ducts and vessels. According to Dr. Vodder, MLD is an advanced therapy in which the practitioner uses a range of specialized and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move the skin in the direction of the lymph flow.

Combining LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE and MYOFASCIAL RELEASE

During the past few years I have started to combine Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Myofascial Release Techniques during my treatment sessions. The positive results reported by my clients, have motivated me to keep continuing with this kind of treatment. It appears to achieve instant benefits for a wide variety of symptoms. The results last longer compared to the application of Lymphatic Drainage as a single treatment option.
