What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and supporting healthy tissue function. When lymphatic circulation slows down, fluid retention, swelling, heavy legs and discomfort may occur.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses slow, gentle and precise movements to encourage the natural flow of lymph, helping to reduce physiological swelling and improve lymphatic circulation. It is widely used to support wellbeing, relieve fluid retention and assist post-operative recovery when clinically appropriate.
