What are the benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage?
- Post-Surgical Recovery
- MLD is a go-to recommendation by plastic surgeons for speeding up recovery after various cosmetic procedures. Whether you’ve undergone liposuction, a tummy tuck, or a facelift, MLD can significantly reduce post-surgical swelling1. This reduction in swelling not only provides immediate relief from pain and tightness but also accelerates the healing process.
- Edema Relief
- For those suffering from localized edema, MLD can be a game-changer. It effectively reduces swelling caused by physical trauma, intense exercise, prolonged sitting, or venous insufficiency. By promoting proper lymph flow, MLD helps alleviate discomfort and supports the body’s natural healing processes.
- Migraine Management
- If you’re plagued by migraine headaches, MLD might offer some relief. By draining lymph from cranial areas, this technique may help reduce migraine symptoms. As an added bonus, the relaxing nature of MLD can improve sleep quality, which is crucial for overall health and migraine prevention.
What to Expect During Your MLD Session
At Rockin’ Good Health, our skilled therapists begin each session with a thorough discussion of your medical history to ensure MLD is safe and effective for you. The treatment starts with gentle stimulation of lymphatic ducts and major lymph nodes, followed by specialized strokes that encourage lymph flow.
Most clients find MLD incredibly relaxing, often drifting into a light sleep during the session. For post-surgical cases, we may incorporate deeper compression techniques to address any areas of fibrosis, effectively softening and potentially eliminating these hardened areas.Experience the benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage at Rockin’ Good Health and take a step towards improved wellness and vitality.
