Manual Lymphatic Drainage
"Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle skin-stretch massage that stimulates the lymphatic system and assists in creating collateral drainage pathways out of non-intact (damaged) lymphatic territories. MLD is a critical part of Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), which is accepted as the international standard of care in the treatment of lymphedema.~The MLD sessions will be performed by 2 Certified Lymphedema Therapists, Megan Klote and Sarah Stolker, both trained through the Norton School of Lymphatic Therapy. The therapists have completed reliability meetings regarding MLD sequencing and techniques."
