Manual Lymphatic Drainage

light, rhythmic touch to stimulate the body’s natural lymph flow,
helping to reduce swelling, clear toxins, and boost immune function

At Palm Beach Healing Center, we offer Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)—a gentle, rhythmic massage technique that supports your body’s natural detoxification system. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing lymphedema, or seeking relief from swelling and inflammation, MLD therapy promotes healing, circulation, and overall wellness in a safe, non-invasive way.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized form of massage therapy designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, which plays a vital role in immune function and fluid balance. Using precise, light-touch movements, MLD encourages lymph flow, reduces fluid buildup, and helps the body clear toxins, cellular waste, and excess proteins.

Developed by Dr. Emil Vodder, this technique is widely used in post-surgical recovery, oncology care, and chronic swelling conditions such as lymphedema.
