Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

Gentle. Effective. Essential.

At Deepfeet Massage Therapy, we offer Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)—a specialised form of gentle massage that encourages the natural movement of lymphatic fluid throughout the body.

MLD is ideal for clients seeking relief from swelling, post-surgical fluid retention, chronic inflammation, and those looking to support their body’s natural detox processes.

💧 What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a light, rhythmic massage technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from body tissues. Unlike deep tissue massage, MLD uses feather-light strokes in specific directions to help your body restore balance, reduce swelling, and boost immune function.

🧘‍♀️ Who is MLD For?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is highly recommended for:

  • Post-surgery recovery (including liposuction, tummy tucks, facelifts, breast surgery)

  • People with lymphedema or fluid retention

  • Those recovering from illness or fatigue

  • Clients with autoimmune or chronic inflammatory conditions (e.g. fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis)

  • Anyone looking to reduce bloating or support overall wellness

If you’ve been feeling sluggish, swollen, or inflamed—MLD can help your body feel lighter and more energised.

🌟 How MLD Helps

Benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage include:

  • Reduced swelling and puffiness

  • Faster post-operative healing

  • Improved circulation and immunity

  • Enhanced energy and vitality

  • Detoxification support

  • Reduced inflammation and discomfort

Many clients notice visible results—especially after surgery or during detox programs—after just a few sessions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How soon after surgery can I get MLD?
This depends on your surgeon’s recommendation. Many clients begin MLD within the first week post-op to help reduce swelling and prevent fibrosis (hard tissue build-up).

Does MLD hurt?
No. MLD uses gentle, pain-free movements that work just under the skin. Most clients find it deeply relaxing.

How many sessions will I need?
This varies. For post-surgery, 3–6 sessions are commonly recommended. For chronic care or maintenance, monthly or fortnightly sessions may be ideal. Your therapist will guide you.

What should I do after a lymphatic drainage massage?
Drink plenty of water, rest, and avoid alcohol. Supporting your body post-session helps maximise results.

Can MLD help with bloating or weight loss?
MLD can help reduce fluid-related bloating and support detox, but it’s not a weight loss treatment. However, many clients feel slimmer, lighter, and less puffy after a session.
