Edema reduction: MLD reroutes lymph fluid to collateral and viable pathways untouched by surgery to allow for accelerated drainage.
Bruising reduction: Cells transported by the lymph system are moved away 10 times faster with MLD. Bruises heal in a fraction of the time.
Pain management: As pressure of lymph fluid decreases around nerves, pain and discomfort are relieved and require less pain medication. Added benefit of MLD is released endorphins.
Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Scar-tissue prevention and fibrosis reduction: Lymph fluid left to build up below incisions or sitting in interstitial space can solidify, causing the formation of scar tissue and fibrotic tissue. MLD prevents lymph fluid buildup and solidification, for a seamless scar.
Infection prevention: Post surgical MLD is important when considering that stagnating lymph fluid can become infectious material and warrant artificial drain insertion - which is painful, costly and time consuming.
General health: MLD helps remove waste and toxins from your body, increasing your overall health
