Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle and rhythmic bodywork technique that enhances functioning of our lymphatic system by removing tissue waste and enhancing immune function.

 

The lymphatic system is a vital part of the human body which consists of several organs and lymph vessels that lie beneath the skin. These vessels carry fluid (containing proteins, water, cells, waste products, and fat) to our lymph nodes which is later filtered back into the cardiovascular system. 

​

Our lymphatic system provides immune system surveillance by recognizing and responding to foreign cells, microbes, viruses, and cancer cells. Lymph fluid is full of disease-fighting white blood cells. All of our body's cells rely on lymph fluid to boost immunity and transport waste products. 

 

In addition to supporting the cardiovascular and immune systems, the lymphatic system helps our bodies absorb necessary proteins and fat through our intestinal system. 

​

There is no heart-like pump for the lymphatic system. Instead, as you breathe and move your body, the lymph fluid continuously gets pushed toward the heart. Our bodies naturally support this process. However, when congestion or blockages to the lymphatic system occur, manual lymphatic drainage performed by a certified MLD therapist can help move lymph fluid through those disruptions.
