Manual Lymph Drainage

Finola has trained and qualified under the Dr Vodder School of Manual Lymph Drainage (M.L.D.). Manual Lymph Drainage is a specialised therapy which improves the function of the lymphatic system and in turn enhances the immune system. Gentle, specific movements of the skin stimulate the lymphatic vessels resulting in a greater amount of metabolic waste products and excess fluid being removed from the tissue, via the lymphatic system for elimination.
