Manual Lymphatic Drainage 60 mins

Service Description

Advanced Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) refers to specialized techniques used to enhance the benefits of MLD, particularly for post-surgical recovery and managing complications like fibrosis or edema. It requires a deeper understanding of surgical procedures, the lymphatic system's response to trauma, and advanced massage techniques. Key aspects of Advanced MLD: • Post-Surgical Care: Advanced MLD is crucial for reducing post-operative swelling (edema), fibrosis (scar tissue formation), and seromas (fluid collections). • Beyond Oedema: While standard MLD focuses on edema reduction, advanced techniques address more complex issues like tissue adhesions, fibrosis, and lymphatic system dysfunction that can occur after surgery. Also, ❤️Reduction of Bloating and Water Retention MLD can help alleviate bloating and abdominal discomfort by improving lymphatic drainage in the abdominal area. This helps remove excess fluids and reduce water retention, often linked to digestive disorders, menstrual cycles, or dietary sensitivities. ❤️ Improved Digestion and Nutrient Absorption By stimulating the lymphatic system, MLD may enhance the body’s ability to absorb and transport nutrients, including fats, from the intestines. The lymphatic system plays a role in absorbing fats (via lymphatic vessels known as lacteals in the small intestine), so efficient lymph flow can support better digestion and nutrient absorption. ❤️ Reduction of Inflammation Chronic digestive issues like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or Crohn’s disease are often accompanied by inflammation. MLD’s gentle techniques help reduce systemic inflammation, which may relieve discomfort in the digestive tract and promote healing in inflamed tissues. ❤️Support for the Immune System A significant portion of the immune system is located in the gut (gut-associated lymphoid tissue or GALT). By enhancing lymphatic flow, MLD supports the immune system’s ability to filter out harmful substances, toxins, and pathogens, contributing to a healthier gut environment and reducing gut-related immune reactions. ❤️Stimulation of the Parasympathetic Nervous System
