Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD):
It was develped in the 1930s by Dr Emil & Estrid Vodder, after research into the lymphatic system.

It is a gentle, light and relaxing massage that assists the lymphatic system to remove waste products, toxins and excess fluid to help cleanse the body.

• helping to drain excess fluid from the tissue of the body, reducing swelling.
