Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle therapy technique. It should not be confused with traditional massage. It's a light, rhythmic, skin mobilization combined with gentle pressure focusing on key areas of the body where the bulk of the lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels are found. MLD therapy is coupled with deep breathing techniques called diaphragmatic breathing to help open deep lymphatic pathways.
