Set aside an hour for a consultation and a session tailored to your goals.
Gentle touch. Thoughtful care. Time for you.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) uses light, rhythmic skin movements to encourage lymph fluid flow. It may help reduce swelling associated with lymphedema when appropriate to your care plan.
A specialized approach with a deliberately light touch.
Your lymphatic system returns excess tissue fluid to circulation. When drainage is disrupted, fluid can collect and cause swelling.
MLD guides fluid toward functioning lymph vessels and nodes. It may be one part of lymphedema care, alongside prescribed compression, movement and skin care.
Results vary. People without lymphedema may notice little benefit. Massage does not replace medical assessment or prescribed treatment.
At Kneaded Relief, your appointment begins with a discussion of your goals, health history and comfort. Ask our team about the right therapist and appointment for your needs.
MLD works gently at the skin level rather than using deep muscle kneading.
