What is MLD?
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, therapeutic, and rhythmical massage technique designed to stimulate the natural flow of lymph and interstitial fluid within the body. This technique encourages healthy circulation, reduces swelling, and supports the body’s immune and detoxification systems.
Our approach draws from the well-established Vodder, Godoy, and Foldi schools of lymphatic therapy—widely regarded as the gold standard in both medical and aesthetic care.
Why Use MLD Before and After Surgery?
Surgical procedures, especially cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, can disrupt normal lymphatic flow and cause swelling, fluid retention, and tissue trauma. Pre- and post-operative MLD therapy helps to:
-
Reduce post-surgical swelling and bruising
-
Enhance circulation for faster healing
-
Support the body’s natural detoxification process
-
Minimise scar tissue development
-
Relieve discomfort and promote tissue regeneration
It’s a non-invasive, soothing treatment that is safe and effective for a wide range of procedures—from liposuction and tummy tucks to orthopaedic and reconstructive surgeries.
Our Methods: Vodder, Godoy & Foldi Disciplines
Our therapists are trained in techniques developed by three leading pioneers in lymphatic therapy:
-
Vodder Method – Gentle, wave-like movements following lymph flow patterns
-
Godoy Technique – Clinical and structured drainage used in both rehab and aesthetic applications
-
Foldi Approach – A medical-based system used widely in post-operative care and lymphedema management
By combining the strengths of these variations, we ensure customised and results-focused treatment that meets your body’s unique post-surgical needs.
Who is it For?
MLD is ideal for clients undergoing:
-
Cosmetic & plastic surgery (e.g. liposuction, tummy tuck, BBL, facelift)
-
Orthopaedic surgery (e.g. joint replacement, ACL repair)
-
Reconstructive surgery
-
Any procedure where swelling, bruising or tissue trauma occurs
The Benefits of MLD After Surgery
-
Reduces fluid retention & inflammation
-
Promotes healing & cell regeneration
-
Boosts circulation & immune response
-
Helps detoxify the body naturally
-
Enhances results of aesthetic procedures
-
Provides calm, restorative support during recovery
What to Expect During Treatment
Your MLD session will be deeply relaxing, with slow, rhythmic movements focused on lymphatic flow. Treatments are always adjusted to your stage of healing and comfort level. Post-operative clients often notice a reduction in swelling and improved comfort after just one session.
