Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) Course 

Requires a Full Body/Swedish/Holistic Massage qualification.



 

 

 

 

 


This specialized massage is the forerunner of clinical massage that is safe and effective for addressing major health concerns and is sought after via medical referral. It is brilliant to assist in treating most cancers and serious illnesses. Lymphatic drainage massage is a profound specialised technique to increase lymph flow, detoxify the body for better health, immunity, weight loss and remove excess fluid and bloating.

MLD (manual lymph drainage) uses light, rhythmical, exact hand movements, pressures and sequences and requires the therapist to develop a high degree of skill and have an intimate knowledge of the anatomy of the lymphatic system. The massage works at a skin level to influence the direction and speed of lymphatic flow, redirecting if necessary.

MLD is a powerful detoxifier and is in huge demand internationally and locally due to the toxic overloads in our modern-day lifestyles.
