MLD sessions are performed by a Klose Institute–certified therapist using the advanced Vodder Method, a technique developed specifically to support the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays an important role in immune function and fluid balance, helping move excess fluid, filter waste from tissues, and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Gentle, rhythmic strokes are used to stimulate lymph flow. MLD can be especially beneficial for individuals preparing for or recovering from surgery, those living with chronic swelling conditions, or clients who have had lymph nodes biopsied or removed. Clients also seek MLD for support with conditions such as migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, and lipedema. The treatment often promotes deep relaxation and may help reduce pain.
After surgery, injury, lymph node biopsy/removal, or ongoing inflammation, your lymphatic system can become overloaded, leading to swelling, discomfort, and slower healing. Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle soft-tissue technique that boosts lymph movement through both the superficial and deep lymph vessels, helping clear excess fluid and waste. This reduces edema, eases pain, and supports your body’s natural ability to recover.
