Looking for a Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) therapist? It's time to talk about something crucial: Accreditation.
Why Accreditation Matters for MLD:
✅ Proof of Proper Training: MLD is a specialised, gentle technique. Accreditation ensures your therapist has meet strict standards, including completing an accredited lymphoedema training course and adhering to professional standards like continuing professional development.
✅ Safety First: Improper MLD can potentially cause harm or make conditions worse (especially for those with specific health issues). Accredited therapists know the contraindications—when not to treat—and the correct pressure and direction.
✅ Effective Results: You want to feel better, right? Accredited therapists are trained in the specific sequences and movements proven to stimulate lymphatic flow effectively. Don't settle for a "fluffy" massage dressed up as MLD!
Don't be shy! Ask your potential therapist where they trained and for their certification. A true professional will be happy to share.
