What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized therapeutic massage technique that stimulates lymph flow, reduces fluid retention, and promotes healing. It uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage lymphatic circulation without causing pain or discomfort.
MLD is especially recommended for:
- Post‑surgery swelling (tummy tuck, liposuction, BBL, breast surgery)
- Chronic fluid retention and lymphatic congestion
- Inflammation, bruising, and tissue stiffness
- Recovery and healing after injuries
This treatment supports the body’s natural detoxification process, enhances circulation, and helps patients achieve a smoother, faster recovery.

  - People with poor lymphatic circulation
  - Those experiencing post‑injury swelling
