Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) therapy is a gentle, specialised technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Using light, rhythmic strokes, therapists encourage drainage of lymph from congested areas into functioning lymph nodes. This helps reduce swelling, support immune function, and promote detoxification. MLD is commonly used to manage lymphoedema, especially after cancer treatments like lymph node removal or radiation. It’s also beneficial for conditions involving fluid retention, chronic venous insufficiency, and certain skin disorders. Additionally, MLD can aid in post-surgical healing, reduce inflammation, and improve overall well-being through enhanced lymphatic circulation. If you have Lymphoedema, always ensure you attend a fully qualified registered therapist who has specific training to deal with complex conditions like Lymphoedema, Lipoedema and related conditions. https://www.mldireland.com/find-a-therapist/
