The lymphatic system is a network of vessels, nodes, and organs that plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's fluid balance and immune function. It transports lymph—a clear fluid containing white blood cells—throughout the body, helping to remove toxins and waste products. Additionally, the lymphatic system supports the immune response by filtering harmful substances and facilitating the production of immune cells.
The lymphatic system is 1 mm., or a nail width underneath the skin, making the MLD strokes light and superficial. Most clients find MLD to be soothing and report feeling a sense of calm during and after the session as it aids in calming the nervous system.
We offer a 30-, 60- , or 90-minute session for MLD, depending on the individual’s needs and areas being treated.
The frequency of sessions can vary based on individual needs. Some people benefit from weekly sessions, while others may find monthly treatments sufficient. Your practitioner can recommend a plan based on your goals.
