Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage
MLD is beneficial for:
- Lymphedema and Lipedema - Manual Lymphatic Drainage clears out the lymph nodes (small structures that work as filters for foreign substances that contain immune cells that can help fight infection by attacking and destroying germs that are carried in through lymph fluid) and then speeds up the flow of fluid. This process helps with reducing symptoms and signs of lipedema and lymphedema by unblocking/unclogging the drain areas and reducing swelling, tightness, and bruising.
- Endometriosis and PCOS- Endometriosis is highly estrogen-dependent. When estrogen levels are too high, hormonal imbalances can occur. The lymphatic system is essential for keeping a hormonal balance and overall health. Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS is also a hormonal imbalance of reproductive hormones. Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps to balance hormones.
- Surgery (including cosmetic surgery) - Whether it's a mommy makeover, Tummy tuck, liposuction 360, BBL, or Orthopedic surgery, MLD reduces swelling, bruising, and speeds up recovery helping the patient to feel better overall.
- Detoxification - Lymphatic Drainage stimulates the lymphatic system, which is a system of vessels and nodes that help to remove toxins, waste, and bacteria from the body.
