Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized technique that stimulates the lymphatic system to help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Unlike traditional massage, MLD uses light, rhythmic movements to safely guide lymph fluid through the body.

At Blossom Physical Therapy & Wellness, MLD is performed by a Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) to ensure medically appropriate, evidence-based care.
