Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a time-tested and evidence-based technique that uses gentle manual strokes that are specifically designed to reduce inflammation, bruising, scarring and pain. Many surgeons are now recommending manual lymph drainage (MLD) for their patients due to its ability to accelerate healing.
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal. Unlike the circulatory system, which has the heart to pump blood, the lymphatic system relies on muscle movement and external manipulation to transport lymph fluid.
During an MLD session, a trained therapist applies light, rhythmic strokes and gentle pressure to specific areas of the body, following the natural pathways of the lymphatic system. This helps to mobilize stagnant lymph fluid, reduce swelling (edema), and enhance the removal of toxins and waste products from the tissues.
MLD is often recommended for individuals dealing with conditions such as lymphedema (swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup), post-surgical swelling, fibromyalgia, and other chronic inflammatory disorders. It can also promote relaxation and support overall well-being.

RAINDROP THERAPY
Massage therapy has physical and emotional benefits when done regularly.
Here are a few ways massage supports your body/mind:
Pain Relief: Regular massages help with pain management. The therapist can concentrate on stiff muscles and specific problem areas, loosening them and increasing blood circulation. This relieves pain from headaches and back pain, sports injuries, arthritis, tendonitis and many other common conditions. You may not need as much pain medication if you get massages regularly.
Immune System Support: Many studies have shown regular massages support immune system function and decrease anxiety and stress-related hormones that can lower immunity.
Stress Management: Regular massages are an effective stress- management technique. Stress is often caused by being over-committed and overwhelmed with home, work and family obligations. A weekly or bi-weekly massage forces you to take time out just for yourself for a relaxing, stress reducing activity.
Management of Emotional Disorders: Massage therapy can help you to manage emotional disorders such as depression or anxiety as part of an overall treatment plan. Massage is soothing, nurturing and relaxing. It can improve your state of mind if you concentrate on releasing negative thoughts during the treatment.
Relaxation: Massage has been shown to relax nearly everyone who receives it. Clients leave feeling calmer and more relaxed after a massage and report having slept better after a session.
Muscle Aches: Massage can work the tension and spasms out of muscles. Clients often report feeling better about symptoms including tension, back pain, joint pain and posture problems.
