Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
A lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body.
The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from the bodily tissues.
Your lymphatic system is key to healing, regenerating tissues, and removing toxins from the body. When the body has experienced stress, such as fighting off illness, healing from an infection, or experiencing emotional stress, the lymphatic system can slow down. Manual lymphatic massage helps “re-start” the system of moving lymph through the body and can provide a variety of benefits, including:
-
More efficient healing from illness, injury, or surgery
-
Supports relaxation and relieves stress
-
Can reduce scar formation by boosting healing responses
-
Removes excess metabolic waste from the tissues in the body
-
Improves skin quality and provides a more vibrant appearance
-
Improved blood circulation
-
Boosts the immune system
-
Boosts metabolism
-
Improves the elasticity of the skin
-
Can improve digestion and weight loss
-
May help with hormonal imbalance (menopause, PMS and pregnancy)
-
Helps with swelling, bloating, puffiness, and water retention
Wood Therapy
Wood therapy is a form of holistic treatment which is non-invasive and natural. Wood therapy has been used for centuries, it originated in Asia and made its way to Europe and North America.
This wellness technique consists of a specialist using a set of wooden instruments to apply direct pressure to all parts of the body. As these tools are glided along the “problem areas,” they help to manipulate the muscle and fat to accelerate lymphatic drainage and stimulate blood circulation. And, as your body eliminates stored toxins, it will appear more defined.
As you begin wood therapy sessions, as well as the MLD benefits you’ll likely begin to see the following benefits.
-
Tones and defines the body
-
Relaxes muscle tension
-
Helps energize your body
-
Reduces the appearance of cellulite
-
Helps to burn fat
