Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage (MLD)

Gentle, targeted drainage to reduce swelling, stiffness, and fluid retention.

Description

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid, reduce swelling, and support healthy lymphatic function.

This therapeutic approach may benefit individuals experiencing fluid retention, certain types of edema, or swelling associated with surgery or medical conditions. MLD can also complement appropriate post-operative recovery care by helping manage swelling and discomfort.

At Body of Soul LMT, each session is tailored to the client’s individual needs, health history, and wellness goals.

Why it Matters

The lymphatic system plays an essential role in maintaining fluid balance, supporting immune function, and transporting excess fluid from body tissues.

When lymphatic drainage is impaired, fluid can accumulate, contributing to swelling, heaviness, and discomfort.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage uses gentle, rhythmic techniques to encourage lymphatic fluid movement and may help reduce swelling and improve comfort in appropriately selected clients.

Whether managing certain types of swelling or supporting recovery following surgery, MLD offers a personalized, noninvasive approach to lymphatic care.

Best for

Individuals experiencing certain types of swelling or fluid retention
Clients recovering from medically appropriate surgical procedures
Individuals seeking supportive care for certain lymphatic conditions
Clients experiencing swelling or discomfort following cosmetic procedures, when cleared by their healthcare provider
Individuals referred by healthcare professionals for MLD services

Some medical conditions require physician clearance, and MLD is not appropriate for everyone.

HSA/FSA Payment Eligibility

Manual Lymphatic Drainage may qualify for HSA/FSA payment when provided for an eligible medical purpose. Documentation of medical necessity may be required. Clients should verify eligibility with their plan administrator before booking.

She listens to your concerns and takes care of you in the best way. I came to her so swollen and in so much pain. After 4 visits I was so les swollen and contoured.

Words can hardly describe how professional and effective my post op lymphatic massage has been with Body of Soul Lymphatic Massage Therapy has been. The owner/certified lymphatic massage nurse has a wealth of knowledge and expertise. As a fellow nurse and client I recommend this service and the other services to anyone. I have had 3 treatments so far and will continue to be a repeat customer.
