Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a unique therapeutic method of stimulating lymphatic fluid movement in the tissues.

MLD is a gentle, rhythmic massage that follows the direction of lymph flow and can reduce swelling almost immediately. It assists the lymphatic system in removing fluids, waste products, protein particles and debris.

MLD can also be used to break up fibrosis in a limb with lymphedema. This technique was created by Danish therapists Dr. Emil Vodder and Estrid Vodder in the 1930s.
