The goal of MLD is to facilitate the body’s own drainage of lymph, a fluid that aids in the elimination of waste and poisons from the tissues. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked or damaged, it can lead to inflammation, swelling, and edema: MLD can help alleviate these symptoms. During this treatment, manual techniques can soften fibrotic and thickened tissue, eliciting drainage.
