- Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a gentle manual treatment technique used to move and reroute protein rich fluid from the interstitial tissue of the arms, legs, and trunk back to the venous system. MLD is one of the components of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) in the treatment of lymphedema.
- Dr. Margaret Latham is certified to provide effective MLD. She has also developed a sequence of full body MLD techniques Lymphatic Wellness Massage to help clients with an intact lymphatic system receive the wellness benefits of MLD including relaxation and pain relief.
