Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) Kingsville

Lynn Heroux, RMT at Wrobel Massage Therapy Kingsville, Ontario.

What is Manual Lymph Drainage?

Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, light-pressure massage technique that helps stimulate the flow of lymph throughout the body. Unlike traditional massage therapy, MLD uses slow, gentle, rhythmic movements that follow the pathways of the lymphatic system.

A healthy lymphatic system plays an important role in helping the body manage fluid balance and support normal immune function.

Who May Benefit?

Manual Lymph Drainage may be a good choice for people who are looking to:

Support healthy lymphatic circulation
Reduce feelings of puffiness
Promote relaxation
Encourage normal fluid movement
Support post-exercise recovery

What to Expect

Your appointment begins with a discussion of your health history and goals.

Treatment uses very light, slow, rhythmic hand movements that gently encourage lymphatic flow. Most clients find the treatment deeply relaxing and many leave feeling lighter and refreshed.
