Manual Lymphatic Drainage
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in keeping our bodies healthy by removing toxins, waste, and excess fluids. However, due to surgery, illness, or chronic conditions, this natural drainage process can slow down, leading to swelling, discomfort, and weakened immunity. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce swelling, and support overall wellness.
At LANA Onco Spa, we specialize in providing gentle, effective MLD therapy for both general wellness and cancer patients, offering a safe and nurturing approach to healing.
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a light, rhythmic massage technique that encourages the natural flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Unlike deep tissue or traditional massage, MLD uses gentle, circular movements to stimulate lymph nodes and vessels, helping to remove toxins and excess fluid while boosting the immune system. MLD is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing swelling (lymphedema), post-surgical recovery, chronic inflammation, and weakened immunity..
Why is Lymphatic Drainage Important?
- Detoxification: Removes toxins and metabolic waste
- Reduces Swelling & Inflammation: Manages lymphedema and post-surgery swelling
- Boosts Immunity: Supports infection and illness resistance.
- Enhances Circulation: Improves oxygen and nutrient delivery.
How is Lymphatic Drainage Performed?
- Assessing the Body: Identifying areas of congestion.
- Stimulating Lymph Nodes: Gentle pumping movements.
- Guiding Fluid Flow: Slow, rhythmic strokes.
- Encouraging Detoxification: Supporting natural elimination.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions varies based on individual needs:
- Post-Surgery Recovery: 2-3 sessions per week for 2-4 weeks.
- Lymphedema Maintenance or Chronic Swelling: Weekly or biweekly sessions.
- General Wellness & Detox: Monthly or seasonal sessions.
Who Can Benefit from Lymphatic Drainage?
