Lymphatic Drainage Massage

This gentle form of massage helps reduce swelling caused by lymphedema, which is when excess lymphatic fluids collect in the body, usually in the arms and legs. There are two types of lymphatic drainage that may be used to treat lymphoedema – manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) and simple lymphatic drainage (SLD). Most massage therapists recommend that you start with one to two visits per week for the first 4-6 weeks specifically for MLD.
