What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

The Dr. Vodder method is the Gold Standard of Lymph Drainage as it was originally developed by Dr. Emil Vodder and his wife, Estrid in the 1930's through vast scientific research spanning over 40 years. Manual Lymph Drainage is a range of precise, specialized hand techniques used to gently pump and stretch the skin, stimulating the contraction of the delicate lymph vessels just underneath, enabling lymph fluid to move much faster within the vessels.    

As a result, toxins, metabolic waste products and excess fluid that are normally transported and removed by the lymph system are eliminated much faster from the body.  Scientific research has proven MLD moves this fluid 10-20 times faster than normal. Increasing this drainage within the body enhances the overall health of the cellular environment.  The faster toxins are removed, the quicker vital nutrients and minerals can get to the cells.  This cleansing and renewing of tissue are the foundation for maintaining optimum health.  

MLD is powerful in its approach and is safe and effective.  It can benefit a healthy person as well as applied to more than 40 conditions.  Backed by 40 years of documented research through vast scientific studies and clinical experience, an overall healthy lymph system promotes much healthier body tissue and function.
