Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Edinburgh
Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Edinburgh (MLD)
Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle, non-invasive massage technique created by Dr Emil Vodder and his wife, Estrid Vodder. It was developed to support the lymphatic system, a vital part of the body’s immune defence and natural detoxification processes. At Touch Holistic Therapy, we offer manual lymphatic drainage in Edinburgh as a way to restore balance, reduce swelling, and support your overall wellbeing.
The lymphatic system works in close connection with the cardiovascular system, removing excess fluid, toxins and metabolic waste. Unlike blood circulation, however, it has no pump of its own and relies on movement and breath to function effectively. With today’s sedentary lifestyles, many people experience a “sluggish lymphatic system”, which can show up as persistent tiredness, heavy legs, bloating or puffiness.
Manual lymphatic drainage in Edinburgh uses light, rhythmic, and precise strokes to stimulate the lymph nodes and encourage the natural flow of lymph fluid. This helps to reduce fluid retention, support immune health, and leave the body feeling lighter and more energised.
