Manual
Lymph Drainage activates the musculature of the lymph vessel system
increasing it's rate of absorption from the surrounding tissues.
It’s a non-invasive way to remove excess fluid and waste products
more quickly.
It is as effective
on the swollen feet of the person who has been standing all day as
it is on the swollen leg's of the person suffering from lymphoedema
or the woman who is 8 months pregnant.
Lymphoedema is
an important indication for MLD. MLD alone on truncal or facial ("mid-line")
oedema regardless of cause and MLD in concert with specialist bandaging,
skin care and exercises (CDT) for limbs.
It's the
perfect antidote to the swelling associated with pregnancy adding
nothing toxic to the body whatsoever. These gentle movements are
pleasant to experience as excess fluid is collected from the tissues
by your own body's system and sent on its way.
The effects of
MLD on the nervous system make it one of the most relaxing treatments
available. Perfect for stress and pain control.
Post-operative
MLD is common in the plastic surgery field. A facelift patient in
France is normally given a prescription for 30 daily MLD treatments
to reduce the swelling and bruising, speed the healing and calm the
patient.
Old scars can
be greatly improved with MLD – normalising the colour and flattening
out unsightly scar formation. Migraine and arthritic problems, "glue
ear' in children and congested sinus" can all be positively
affected.
The list of indications
is a long one and the training given covers the whole body with specific
movements for special situations.
