Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage also know as MLD is a specialized form of massage that stimulates the movement of fluids in the tissues. The gentle rhythmic techniques enhance the flow of the lymph through the one-way drainage pathways within the body, the lymphatic system. MLD drains excessive fluid from the tissues and has a detoxifying effect by removing accumulated toxins and waste products. MLD is a safe, effective and gentle approach to cleansing the body’s tissues. A healthy lymphatic system is fundamental for good health.

Effects of MLD:

Decrease inflammation
Enhances the regeneration of tissue (burns, wounds and wrinkles)
Deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress and loss of vitality
Improved circulation
Decongestive effects

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release is a very effective technique that provides sustained pressure into Myofascial restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. In the normal healthy state, the fascia is relaxed and wavy in configuration. It has the ability to stretch and move without restriction. When we experience physical trauma, scarring, or inflammation, however, the fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Trauma, such as a fall, whiplash, surgery or just habitual poor posture over time and repetitive stress injuries has accumulative effects. The changes they cause in the fascial system influence comfort and the functioning of our body. The fascia can exert excessive pressure producing pain or restriction of motion. Myofascial Release Techniques allow restoration of proper body mechanics and movement, through the enhancement of strength, flexibility, and postural awareness.
