What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), or lymphatic drainage massage, is a gentle, yet highly effective massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system. By encouraging the natural drainage of lymph fluid, MLD helps eliminate toxins and waste from the body’s tissues.
By enhancing lymphatic drainage, this therapy allows your body to efficiently clear away toxins and cellular debris, supporting overall detoxification. It also helps alleviate bloating and reduce inflammation, promoting comfort and improved health. One of the most cherished benefits is the deep relaxation and sense of well-being it promotes.

Surgery Prep and Recovery
Pre-Op Lymphatic Massage
A lymphatic massage prior to surgery has many benefits that ensure a smooth and efficient surgical procedure. For non-post-operative individuals, the strokes are slightly deeper but still gentler than a Swedish massage. Additionally, gastrointestinal work is incorporated to promote movement within the GI tract.
Toxin Elimination: Prepares tissues for cleaner surgical incisions
Better Oxygen Circulation: Enhances overall circulation, preparing the body for surgery and aiding post-operative healing
Mental Preparation: Promotes deep relaxation, helping patients prepare mentally for surgery
