Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, light treatment that aims to redirect fluid and deposits from swollen areas to healthy lymphatic vessels, transporting it back to the normal circulatory system . Lymphatic massage aims to improve the flow of lymph fluid to help remove toxins and reduce swelling. Precise hand movements with different intensities of pressure are applied by the therapist’s hands to increase the activity of normal lymph flow.
