What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
MLD is a technique that treatments the accumulation of fluid that can occur after the lymph system is compromised. It most often happens after surgery, but can also be caused by trauma, poor diet, medications, stress, or anxiety.
The lymphatic system's job is to filter out debris in our bodies, eventually removing it, and to produce new clean lymph fluid to aid the immune system in destroying pathogens. Our lymphatic system must periodically be cleared of debris that accumulates there. Think of a small stream that, over the seasons, accumulates twigs and leaves and the occasional large stone. The stream becomes a trickle. MLD is the park ranger who goes in and removes the blockages to allow the water to flow freely again. If there is a large boulder that cannot be removed (large amounts of scar tissue), then the MLD will re-route the flow of stagnated lymphatic fluid around blocked areas to be filtered and excreted out of the body. By de-congesting our lymphatic system, we achieve a more effective immunity and a healthy body.
What To Expect
Manual Lymph Drainage is gentle and relaxing, but has powerful effects. It consists of a slow, rhythmic progression of light strokes, and some gentle stretching of the skin. Clearing superficial congestion from the lymph system creates a vacuum effect, pulling up fluid from deeper, more distant parts of the body. Lymph fluid starts moving and flowing, instead of remaining stagnant.
The relaxing Lymphatic Drainage treatment is performed on bare skin, with no oil. Draping of clients according to established industry guidelines is practiced. You can expect an increased need to urinate soon after a treatment and for several hours thereafter, as excess fluids that were moved from the tissues are now ready to be excreted as urine. We recommend that you drink 16oz of water before and after an MLD session to replenish fluids mobilized during this treatment. Measurements will be taken, along with photos, to show progress.
I am a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist in the Vodder technique, which means I have completed individual classes in Medical Spa, Pregnancy, Sports, Scars, and more. When looking for a MLD therapist, ALWAYS make sure they are certified so you know they have had proper training in this specific modality. I am located in central NJ with a home office in East Windsor. However, if you cannot leave your home due to surgeries, I will travel to your location, with a travel fee added.
Sessions
Sessions are conducted 5 days in the first 1 week. A single session will provide minimal results. Performing the 5 sessions within the week will clear out the system and provide the client with far better and longer lasting results. Additional weeks may be recommended if fluid has been stagnant for some time. After the measurements show swelling has not continued to decrease, there will be monthly maintenance sessions.
If the client is preparing for surgery, it is recommended to have 3 sessions in the week pre surgery (no sessions 24 hours before). This will prepare the body for with the cleaned out immune system and help reduce the after effects of surgery, such as swelling, pain, and bruising.
For post surgery, the first session can occur 48 hours after, as long as there are no complications such as infection. Sessions are conducted for a minimum of 5 days in a row. Maintenance sessions are then conducted once every 2-3 months.
Please prepare for a session by drinking 16oz of water in the hour before.
