Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Available in:

  • 60 minutes - Manual Lymphatic Drainage

  • 75 minutes - Manual Lymphatic Drainage + Face

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, specialized treatment that uses slow, rhythmic and precise techniques to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body.

Using specific hand movements and sequences, MLD encourages fluid toward functioning lymphatic pathways, helping support healthy lymphatic flow and the management of swelling and fluid retention.

The slow, repetitive and rhythmic nature of MLD can also have a calming effect on the nervous system, making it a supportive treatment for relaxation and overall well-being.

Each treatment is individualized based on your health history, assessment, symptoms and treatment goals.

  • Support healthy lymphatic fluid movement

  • Reduce and manage swelling or fluid retention

  • Reduce feelings of heaviness and puffiness

  • Support circulation

  • Promote relaxation

  • Support nervous system regulation

  • Support recovery following surgery or injury when appropriate
