What can you expect in your treatment?
MLD is performed directly on the skin without oil. It is important that any undergarments are loose so that lymph flow is not impeded. Treatments can last 30-60 minutes, depending on the area that is needing treatment. Gentle, rhythmical hand and finger movements are used to encourage areas of swelling and congestion to clear. The technique is very relaxing and most clients will find they will sleep through at least part of the treatment. MLD is also a good complement to Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial release techniques.
