Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
MLD is a light technique that stimulates the
lymphatic system and helps to clear away swelling. No lotion/oil is
used. This treatment is great for headaches, sinus issues and acute
injuries such as sprains and strains, tendonitis, burns, scars, pre
and post operation. This treatment may lead to Combined Decongestive
Therapy (as per the therapist’s discretion. An extra charge of $30
dollars per bandage per limb is additional.) Combined Decongestive
Therapy is the most effective treatment for lymphedema (LE)
patients. LE involves chronic swelling, usually found in a limb,
resulting from a malfunctioning lymphatic system. CDT uses a
combination of client education, mld, compression, skin care and
lifestyle modifications to treat Lymphedema and improve the quality
of life of those living with this condition.
