Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
Gentle treatment to support your body's natural healing
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to encourage the natural movement of lymph fluid around the body. It can help reduce swelling, improve circulation, support the immune system and promote relaxation.
At Simply Osteo, MLD is provided by Dawn Goodes, who tailors each treatment to your individual needs in a calm, comfortable environment.
How can Manual Lymphatic Drainage help?
MLD may be beneficial for:
Swelling (oedema) and fluid retention
Post-surgical recovery*
Pregnancy-related swelling (where appropriate)
Sports recovery
Heavy or tired legs
Sinus congestion
Relaxation and overall wellbeing
*Treatment following surgery should only be carried out with approval from your surgeon or healthcare professional where appropriate.
What happens during treatment?
Your appointment will begin with a discussion about your health and treatment goals before Dawn carries out a gentle, rhythmic massage designed to encourage healthy lymph flow.
Unlike deep tissue massage, MLD uses very light pressure and is a deeply relaxing treatment. Many people leave feeling lighter, less swollen and more comfortable.
