Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage is a light, rhythmic, skin-stretching form of massage designed to reduce inflammation and support your body's natural detoxification system. A registered massage therapist moves lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes which reduces swelling. It also addresses muscular tension, reduces fluid accumulation, and supports the body's circulation.

At Toronto Community Massage and Wellness, located near College and Bathurst, many patients seek Manual Lymphatic Drainage post-surgery. This is because surgery typically causes tissue damage and stiffness resulting from trauma, wounds and lymphatic disruption. Swelling can prolong the healing process, increase discomfort and obstruct it. Manual Lymphatic Drainage aids the healing process by encouraging tissue repair and supporting overall recovery.
