Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle treatment designed to support the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Using the Dr Vodder Method, the treatment involves very light, slow and rhythmic movements applied to the skin to stimulate lymphatic flow and support the body’s natural drainage processes.
Unlike traditional massage, Manual Lymphatic Drainage using the Dr Vodder Method is performed without oil. This allows the precise, gentle movements to create the appropriate traction on the skin required by the technique.
MLD uses very light pressure and is not intended to work deeply into the muscles or provide the strong pressure associated with a Deep Tissue Massage. If you are experiencing muscular tension, knots or stiffness and are looking for deeper muscular work, please book a Deep Tissue Massage instead.
