When the Lymphatic System Is Not Flowing Well
Many people seek manual lymph drainage because their body feels persistently swollen, heavy, or slow to recover.
Common signs include:
Fluid retention (puffiness)
Congestion or bloating
Swelling and inflammation
Constant fatigue
The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the heart. It relies on movement, breathing, and manual stimulation. When flow is impaired, symptoms accumulate.

How Manual Lymphatic Drainage Works
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, hands-on technique developed by Emil and Estrid Vodder that stimulates lymph vessels just beneath the skin.
Using slow, rhythmic strokes, the MLD therapist:
Opens key lymphatic pathways
Redirects fluid toward functioning lymph nodes
Encourages natural drainage without forcing pressure
Supports the body’s own detoxification and immune processes
MLD massage uses very light pressure. Deeper pressure is not more effective and can be counterproductive for lymphatic flow.
