Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Vodder technique, is a unique, specialized manual technique that moves fluid out of your body's interstitial tissue into lymph nodes where bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms are destroyed. MLD is particularly helpful for detoxification, oedema & Lymphedema to boost your immune system. It can also help with cellulite reduction, scar tissue, spider veins, and acne, migraine, and other inflammatory conditions.

Lymphatic Drainage is a Therapeutic and Rhythmic Treatment that uses light, gentle pressure and rhythmic strokes to increase the lymph flow around the body. This treatment helps to flush out the retained liquids and toxins, aiding for general well-being. 

Lymphatic Drainage helps the Lymphatic System to do its job better. By understanding the anatomy and function of this delicate System, we assists your body in clearing sluggish tissues of waste and swelling.

MLD is designed to be gentle because the lymph vessels lie just beneath the skin and are only as big as a strand of hair and heavier pressure blocks the lymph flow.

The lymph nodes do the collection and filtering of waste material from cell fluid, while the lymph vessels return the fluid back into general circulation. This system clears the entire body, stopping excess fluid from stagnating in cell tissues. 

Our Manual Lymphatic Drainage helps to keep the fluid moving therefore detox your body naturally from inside out.

How can Lymphatic Drainage help you?

Lymphatic Drainage stimulates the system by clearing waste products from connective tissue, thereby eliminating toxins and allowing freer and more efficient transport of nutrients to cells.

Unlike some other forms of massage, it utilises a very light pressure combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the most important post-surgery because the body has been through a lot of trauma internally and externally. To achieve a good result swelling must be well-managed, which is why correct post-op care is very important.
