What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialised massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, reduce fluid retention, support detoxification and promote overall balance within the body.
At Laura’s Touch, MLD treatments are tailored to individual needs — whether you are seeking relief from bloating, fluid retention, heaviness, lymphatic conditions, or simply want to support your body’s natural detox and wellbeing processes.
Please note:
| Post-operative lymphatic drainage treatments are listed on a separate Post-Op MLD page to ensure clarity and appropriate treatment pathways.
Who Can Benefit from MLD?
MLD is suitable for a wide range of non-surgical concerns, including:
- Detox & de-bloating
- Digestive discomfort & sluggish digestion
- General fluid retention & water retention
- Tired, heavy or swollen legs
- Lipoedema support
- Lymphoedema management
- Hormonal-related bloating
- Stress, fatigue & nervous system overload
- General wellness, circulation & immune support
Treatments are always carried out using light, rhythmic pressure, making them suitable for sensitive systems and long-term lymphatic support.
