How It Works
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) massage gently moves lymph fluid from swollen regions to healthier lymph nodes using light pressure. This method helps reduce swelling resulting from illnesses or surgery. Unlike traditional massages, MLD focuses on the lymph vessels beneath the skin’s surface. Therapists employ specific skin movements designed to enhance lymph flow while avoiding compression of the lymph vessels. The process typically begins with massaging areas like the neck, groin, and armpits, which are usually free of swelling, to create space for fluid drainage. Subsequently, they target swollen areas to aid in the outward movement of the lymph fluid.
What It Is
At EVOLV, we believe in comprehensive programs to ensure optimal results, which is why we include manual lymphatic drainage in our surgical packages. During your appointment, one of our trained providers will utilize light pressure and precise hand movements to encourage natural lymph drainage, decreasing the pain and downtime associated with surgical procedures.
This condition arises when tissues retain fluid (known as lymph) that remains after the cardiovascular system delivers blood to organs and tissues.
Under normal circumstances, the lymphatic system collects this lymph and returns it to the heart through a network of vessels and nodes. However, disruptions in this process can cause lymph to accumulate in the extremities, leading to swelling. Lymphatic drainage massage helps by guiding the lymph fluid from tissues to lymph nodes, thereby reducing the swelling.
