MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) treatment uses gentle and directional-specific skin stretch strokes to improve the body's flow of lymphatic fluid (lymph). This specialized technique increases the speed of lymph flow throughout your body, which allows your body to draw out excessive fluid, cellular debris, and toxins from its tissue more efficiently. A portion of your lymph is deposited back into your cardiovascular system and the excess fluid, edema, and toxins are eliminated from your body through urination. The Vodder MLD Method, which Wendy is certified in through Klose Training, is considered the gold standard for MLD worldwide.

The lymphatic system plays a huge role in your immune system. It is comprised of lymph vessels, lymph nodes (600-700 in the body) and ducts. This system draws fluid, toxins, bacteria, and cellular debris out of your tissues and cleans and concentrates the fluid as it passes through the hundreds of lymph nodes in your body. The concentrated lymph is returned back to your cardiovascular system and the excess is eliminated through urination.

Sometimes the lymphatic system becomes sluggish (i.e., due to an autoimmune disorder or primary lymphedema) or compromised (i.e., due to surgical removal or radiation of lymph nodes) and then excessive fluids and toxins build up in our tissues. This can lead to pain, disease, decreased energy and edema (swelling). 

MLD helps manage both acute and chronic inflammation and is an effective treatment for many conditions including, but not limited to:

· Post-surgical Swelling

· Lymphedema

· Lipedema

· Chronic Venous Insufficiency

· Autoimmune Conditions

· Sprains, Strains and Tendonitis

· Tension and Migraine Headaches

· Chronic or acute pain

· Stress Reduction

· Anxiety

· Arthritis

· Fibromyalgia

· Sinusitis

· Inflammation
