Lymphatic Drainage Therapists
Did you know we offer Manual Lymphatic Drainage – Massage Therapy at Cobblestone Medicine and Rehab Centres?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, non-invasive technique intended to stimulate the lymph nodes and circulation through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system plays a role in immune function, swelling and water retention.
A licensed massage therapist typically carries out MLD and involves various techniques, including the Vodder Methodology. The Vodder school of thought consists of stretching and torquing the skin specifically, based on scientific and physiological principles that have proven to encourage lymph flow.
