S.T.M. offers Vodder's method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), a gentle bodywork technique that aids fluid movement in the lymphatic system for health and well-being.
History of MLD -
Emil Vodder, fascinated by the lymphatic system, developed the Vodder lymphatic drainage method in the 1930s in France. By the 1960s, doctors recognized its benefits for lymphoedema. He later expanded the technique to include breathing, dieting, and relaxation methods. His approach evolved into Manual Lymph Drainage, which gained popularity in North America in the 1970s. Today, it is a widely practiced massage technique globally.
This gentle and rhythmic form of massage therapy has gained widespread recognition and is now extensively practiced by health and wellness practitioners worldwide. MLD has also been embraced by the medical community for its effectiveness in managing conditions such as lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, and post-traumatic edema.
MLD involves a series of light, repetitive movements that stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to promote the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. By encouraging the natural drainage of lymph, MLD can reduce swelling, improve circulation, and enhance the body's immune response. This non-invasive therapy is known for its ability to alleviate discomfort and promote overall well-being.
Healthcare professionals often recommend MLD as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for individuals recovering from surgery, dealing with lymphatic system disorders, or seeking relief from fluid retention. The gentle nature of MLD makes it suitable for people of all ages and health conditions. With its roots in the pioneering work of the Vodder therapists, Manual Lymphatic Drainage continues to be a valuable therapeutic approach that offers a holistic way to support the body's natural healing processes and enhance overall health and vitality.
