Reduce Swelling Naturally & Restore Comfort
At My Soul and Body in Hampstead, NH, we specialize in manual lymphatic drainage massage to help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support your body’s natural healing process.
If you’re dealing with fluid retention, post-surgical swelling, or lymphedema, this gentle, therapeutic technique can provide real relief, without invasive treatments.
How Manual Lymphatic Drainage Helps Reduce Swelling
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a proven technique designed to stimulate the movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. When your lymphatic system slows down or becomes blocked, fluid can build up in tissues—leading to swelling, discomfort, and heaviness.
MLD works by:
Encouraging lymph flow
Reducing fluid buildup
Supporting your immune system
Promoting faster healing
What Is Edema?
According to Mayo Clinic, edema is swelling caused by fluid leaking from blood vessels into surrounding tissues. This commonly occurs due to:
Injury
Inflammation
Prolonged sitting or standing
Circulatory issues
You may notice puffiness, tight skin, or a heavy sensation in the affected areas, such as the legs, arms, or ankles.
What Is Lymphedema?
Lymphedema is a more complex and chronic condition that occurs when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked.
It is commonly associated with:
Cancer treatments (such as radiation)
Lymph node removal
Infection or trauma
Unlike edema, lymphedema involves protein-rich fluid, which is thicker and harder for the body to move naturally. This can lead to persistent swelling, discomfort, and reduced mobility if left untreated.
Why Manual Lymphatic Drainage Is Effective
At My Soul and Body, our lymphatic drainage massage is designed to address both edema and lymphedema at the source.
Key Benefits of MLD:
✔ Stimulates lymphatic circulation
✔ Helps move protein-heavy fluid (critical for lymphedema)
✔ Reduces swelling and inflammation
✔ Relieves discomfort and tightness
✔ Supports long-term fluid balance
✔ Enhances post-surgical recovery
Unlike treatments that only target water retention, MLD works deeper—helping your body process and move the heavier lymphatic load more efficiently.
Who Can Benefit from Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
You may benefit from MLD if you are experiencing:
Chronic swelling or fluid retention
Post-surgical swelling (including cosmetic procedures)
Lymphedema diagnosis
Inflammation or sluggish circulation
Heavy, tired legs or arms
