Edema Therapy/
Manual Lymph Drainage Vodder (MLDV)

What is manual lymph drainage?
The human body consists of two-thirds fluid. This fluid is in and around all our cells. Many processes in our body occur through this fluid, such as the transport of hormones, bacteria, and nerve impulses. It is important that this fluid is in optimal condition to create a good living environment for our cells. The lymphatic system plays an important role in this. Lymph drainage is a normal process that can be disrupted by illness, stress, or an accident. In this case, the therapist can manually stimulate lymph drainage (with their hands).

More about Edema Therapy

The treatment:
Manual lymph drainage is a form of massage where gentle circles are made on the lymph nodes and lymphatic pathways. This allows visible and invisible fluid accumulations to be removed more effectively and quickly through the lymphatic system. The massage can be supported with lymph taping, bandaging, and exercise therapy. Additionally, this treatment will have a positive effect on immunity and stress levels. The treatment will always start with the basics, namely the lymph nodes of the neck. From there, it will take approximately 4 sessions to work towards the affected area.
