Manual Lymph Drainageis a gentle, non-invasive manual technique that has a powerful effect on the body. Research in Australia, Europe and North America has proven its efficacy as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with other therapies. This technique was developed in France in 1932 by Emil and Estrid Vodder. MLD® has grown to be the most effective manual technique to assist lymph flow and aid in drainage of the tissues, rejuvenate the dermis, and relieve stress and tension. MLD promotes the body’s healing ability in many diverse applications, for example: scar tissue, pre and post operative care, as well as chronic inflammatory conditions, such as acne and rosacea.
