✨ Pregnant & feeling a little… puffy?
Let’s talk MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) — your new pregnancy BFF! 🤰💛
🌏 At Melbourne Massage and Treatment in Fitzroy North, I run a Myotherapy and Lymphoedema clinic.
👉 When delivering MLD, I use gentle, rhythmic techniques to help:
💧 Reduce swelling in feet, ankles and hands
🌿 Boost circulation
😌 Ease that “I-swear-my-legs-weren’t-this-big-yesterday” feeling
💤 Support relaxation + better sleep (yes, please!)
📣 The best part? MLD is super gentle, super soothing, and super safe during pregnancy for most people. Your lymphatic system does a lot — we just help it do its job a little easier.
💭 Think of it as giving your body a first-class ticket out of Swollen Town ✈️.
✨ A quick note on safety
MLD isn’t suitable for everyone. Please chat with your healthcare provider first if you have:
⚠️ Preeclampsia
⚠️ Are you in your 1st trimester
⚠️ A history of high-risk pregnancy
⚠️ Kidney or liver fatigue/conditions
⚠️ A history of heart failure
⚠️ A history of DVT (deep vein thrombosis)
Your safety always comes first. 💛
