What Lymphatic Drainage Can Do for You

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic technique developed in the 1960s by Emil Vodder. It works the skin and the tissue just beneath it, not deep muscle, guiding fluid toward working lymph nodes.1 It should never feel painful.

Relief From Swelling

Cleveland Clinic describes lymphatic drainage as a way to ease swelling by moving lymph from the tissues to the lymph nodes, with possible benefits that include reduced fluid retention and stress relief.2

Comfort with Lymphedema

For people living with lymphedema, there is some evidence that MLD reduces pain and discomfort and improves physical and emotional well-being.3 It works best alongside compression and exercise, as part of the care plan your medical team sets.

Recovery After Cosmetic Surgery

A small clinical study after liposuction and tummy tucks reported less pain, swelling, and tissue hardening when MLD was combined with therapeutic ultrasound, though larger trials are still needed.4 It is recommended that you get your doctor's clearance before your first session.

A Lighter, Rested Feeling

Many people book MLD simply because it is deeply relaxing and leaves them feeling less puffy. It is a simple, soothing way to care for how you feel.
