What is the differennce is Lymphatic Massage and Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)
Let me tell you there is huge difference......and I guess it upset's me when someone completes a weekend or a day course in Lymphatics to then call themselves a 'qualified lymphatic therapist' and worse again treat people.
✨MLD is a precise, medically recognized technique developed by Dr. Vodder. It uses light, rhythmic, directional strokes to gently move lymph fluid, especially important after cancer treatments like lymph node removal. MLD is specifically designed to manage lymphedema safely without triggering inflammation or damage. Cancer patients should receive MLD from certified therapists who have undergone rigorous training from a recognised international school.
✨LYMPHATIC MASSAGE
Lymphatic massage is a holistic therapy used for general health and wellbeing. Generally these therapies are from a massage therapist background. Lymphatic massage therapists are not trained to work on any body who has an impaired lymphatic system like those who have been treated for cancer or who have the genetic form of lymphoedema.
Post-Op Patients also need to be careful who they attend for Post-Op lymphatic Drainage.
While Lymphatic massage offers many benefits including relaxation, detox and improved circulation it must not be used on patients with compromised lymphatic systems.
