    Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

    Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a light-pressure massage performed in a particular sequence to encourage the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body.

    MLD can also be helpful in the treatment of conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
