Manual Lymphatic Drainage MLD
MLD is a very light skin treatment working on the superficial lymphatic vessels which lie just under the skin. It has a decongestive effect giving increased and quicker removal of waste products and toxins.
The slow repetitive movements dampen down the nervous system, relaxing and calming the body. Pain levels are reduced.
MLD is considered safe if you have metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the breast).
The Lymphatic System
