What is Manual Lymph Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage or MLD is a rhythmic, light touch therapy that encourages an increase in lymphatic flow and drainage.

What does your lymphatic system do?
Your lymphatic system is your bodies recycling and disposal system. As your blood transports oxygen and nutrients to nourish your body, what isn't used, what is leftover, or what is actively rejected is left behind and called interstitial fluid. Interstitial fluid lives in the tissue and contains excess water and cellular waste including proteins, lipids, damaged cells, foreign particles (such as bacteria or viruses), etc. Your lymphatic system collects this fluid and moves it back through your system to recycle into your blood stream, and dispose of what is harmful or no longer beneficial. It's pretty awesome!
When and why is excess fluid a problem?
Aren't we supposed to swell? Yes!
Swelling is a natural and protective response of the body. When you're injured, your body is sending lots of help... blood to the area. This is beneficial in two ways:
1. Water, oxygen and nutrients needed to heal.
2. Fluid also creates swelling, reduces range of motion and protects the area.
It can become uncomfortable, painful and cause long-term problems when the swelling doesn't move on during the rest of the healing process. MLD helps get that fluid moving.
