What is MLD?
Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a unique type of skin massage designed to stimulate the lymphatic system which carries substances vital to the body's defences and removes waste product. The purpose of MLD is to move fluid to an area where it can flow more freely. This is a natural safe and gentle treatment.
What is Kinesiotaping?
Kinesiotaping
can mimic the effect of MLD, stimulating the movement of the lymph, by stretching the skin wherever it is placed.
