Manual Lymphatic Drainage
"M.L.D" can be used to treat many conditions such as severe acute whiplash, edemas resulting from injuries, post surgical issues (i.e. plastic surgery), fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. M.L.D. Is primarily used to treat lymphedema issues in Post Mastectomy and cancer patients. (i.e. swollen "edemic" LIMBS resulting from damage to the lymph nodes and fields as a result of surgery.) In combination with hydrotherapy,burns and keloids (scars), also respond very well to M.L.D. treatment. This treatment is a very soothing and light type of massage that rapidly reduces bruising from injury and acts as an analgesic, reducing pain. An M.L.D. massage (full body) is also a great way to "boost" the immune system. Trained in the Dr. Vodder Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, and Combined Decongestive Therapy, Allen updates his credentials every 2 years, in order to stay current.
