Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD according to Dr. Vodder method) is a massage technique that activates the lymphatic system. The purpose of this massage is to purify and regenerate this extremely essential drainage system, in order to strengthen the human body. Unlike many other forms of massage MLD consists of a light touch on the skin and the underlying tissues directly. The soft, sliding and pumping movements enhance the flow of the lymph through the body. The movements are carried out following the rhythm of the normal lymphatic flow. MLD admittedly feels soft, but the effect on the removal of stored waste is impressive. MLD has a positive effect on swelling (edema) after injuries and (orthopedic) surgery. It also has a very beneficial effect on stress by activating the calming part of the nervous system. Because much waste is removed by MLD treatment also has a good effect on chronic fatigue, headache or migrane, and skin problems.
