MLD is a very light skin manipulation that improves the function of the lymphatic system throughout the body.  In the 1930s the techniques of MLD were first introduced by Dr Emil Vodder, PhD.

MLD for detox massage is performed on healthy individuals to enhance their health and support the removal of toxins from their bodies. This technique helps to move fluids through the body by stimulating the Lymphatic System. The Lymphatic System is the body’s natural filtering and cleansing system that works in parallel with the venous portion of the circulatory system. When these systems work in unison, fluid retentions is minimise and blood “cleansing” is optimized.

MLD is becoming widely recognized in the U.K. as a treatment for many pathologies including post-surgical swelling, post-traumatic edema (e.g., sports injuries), migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, and fibromyalgia.

For surgery including, but not limited to cataract removal, orthopaedic surgery for shoulder repair, hip replacement, knee replacement and everything in between, a myriad of plastic surgery procedures such as liposuction, rhinoplasty, abdominoplasty, buttock and breast augmentation, recovery time and discomfort can be significantly reduced by MLD performed by a well-trained therapist.
