DR. VODDER’S
MANUAL LYMPH
DRAINAGE
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle rhythmical European massage
technique developed in the 1930’s by Dr. Emil Vodder, a Danish therapist.
Medical scientists have researched MLD and its physiological benefits are well
documented. In Germany and Austria, this technique is covered by
Government Health Plans and is prescribed by doctors and practiced in
hospitals and clinics. MLD is rapidly becoming a recognized treatment of choice
in many leading American hospitals.
MLD is a precise technique designed to accelerate the normal functioning of
the Lymphatic System. Therapeutic application of MLD cleanses the connective
tissue of inflammatory materials and toxins, enhances the activity of the
immune system, reduces pain, and lowers the activity of the sympathetic
nervous system. It thereby facilitates healing of injuries, chronic conditions,
inflammation, and edemas.
