Medical Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Service Description

Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels. It is NOT a traditional massage. MLD is specifically focused on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. This is a very gentle (extremely light touch) and slow process. Draining lymph fluid is a dynamic process and should be respected as one. Please be mindful and patient with your body if your lymph fluid is taking time to drain. A client can still leave with swelling after a session due to any given condition your body may be experiencing; again be patient with your body as it works towards homeostasis. Multiple visits are to be expected, especially with post-op surgeries or procedures. PRE-OP: 1 week before and again 2 days before procedure POST-OP: Start 3-7 days out (sooner is better with doctor approval). If an incision is leaking, please wait until incision is closed before booking appointment.
