The lymphatic system takes care of removing cellular waste and toxins from the body, and is integral in promoting overall health and wellbeing. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) focuses on stimulating the lymphatic system and is ideal for people post-surgery and post-cancer, and may also support those with swelling and skin and gut disorders.
How Can Manual Lymphatic Drainage Help You?
If you experience unknown rashes, have difficulty processing fatty foods, or have a weakened immune system, Manual Lymphatic Drainage may provide significant benefits. By improving the efficiency of your lymphatic system, Manual Lymphatic Drainage can alleviate swelling, promote digestion, support immune function, and assist with skin rashes. If you live in North Carlton, North Fitzroy or Collingwood, you can experience Manual Lymphatic Drainage treatment easily at our North Carlton Holistic Centre.
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) supports immune function, and is particularly useful when healing from cancer treatment, heavy medication use or surgery. MLD encourages stubborn digestion, assists with skin rashes and lymphoedema, and reduces swelling of the limbs, abdomen, or face. People who get lymphatic drainage massage often report feelings of lightness, reduced stress, and increased relaxation.
Experience the Gentle Techniques of Manual Lymphatic Drainage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage involves gentle and rhythmic movements that facilitate the movement of lymph fluid through your lymphatic vessels, encouraging regular drainage and detoxification. The treatment targets key collection areas, such as lymph nodes in the knees, groin, intestines, armpits, neck, and breast tissue.
MLD works by assisting the movement of fluid into and along our lymphatic vessels towards collection areas called lymph nodes. These major collection areas are located behind your knees, in your groin, around your intestines, in your armpits, and in your neck. For women, there is also a large number in breast tissue. (These nodes sometimes get infected, leading to mastitis.)
Your comfort is of utmost importance to us. You are welcome to have a support person present with you for the duration of your treatment if that will help you feel more comfortable. Your practitioner may work at a few points around your groin (never genitals) and breast areas. These areas can be worked on through towels or sheets.
