What to Expect

MLD will strategically clear lymph nodes and open lymphatic vessels/pathways, moving lymph (the fluid left behind in the bodies tissues as the cardiovascular system sends blood through the body), increasing the rate of lymph circulation, and allowing the immune system to work more efficiently.  Chronic illness or inflammation, environmental toxins, injury and surgery can cause lymph to become stagnant and the immune system become less able to balance the toxin load it handles.

You will learn to recognize stagnation and improve lymph circulation, with at-home movement and massage techniques.
