Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a therapeutic massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system to improve the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. This gentle, non-invasive treatment involves rhythmic, circular movements that encourage the lymph to move toward lymph nodes, where it can be filtered and processed. It is commonly used to reduce swelling and inflammation caused by conditions such as lymphedema, sports injuries, surgery, and other medical treatments.
