The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs made up of lymph vessels, lymph fluid and lymph nodes that drain lymph fluid from all over the body. You can think of the lymphatic system as the body’s waste management plant, working around-the-clock to filter and dispose of impurities left behind by other body system. A healthy lymphatic system also contributes to many other major bodily functions, including: maintaining the bodies fluid balance, filtering blood, filtering lymph, and fighting infection.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized massage that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immune mechanisms. This light skin-stretching technique helps to promote the movement of fluid that often accompanies surgical procedures. When combined with both compression and gentle exercises there can be a reduction in both post-operative discomfort and swelling.
