Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a specialised technique of gentle massage on the surface of the skin which helps the lymphatic system to work better.  It consists of light rhythmical and calming hand movements which gently stretch the skin in specific directions stimulating the lymphatic system,.  The aim on MLD is to redirect fluid from congested areas towards healthy lymphatics where the fluid can be drained by normal routes back into the circulation.  The pressure is applied evenly, repetitively and rhythmically which creates in the the person being treated an incredibly deep relaxing feeling.  These movements do not cause redness of the skin, neither do they cause any pain.
