Surprising Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Southern NH

More Than Just Swelling Relief

At My Soul and Body in Hampstead, NH, manual lymphatic drainage massage (MLD) is known for reducing swelling, but emerging research shows its benefits go far beyond fluid retention.

From pain relief to improved mobility and reduced fatigue, this gentle therapy supports your body in ways many people don’t expect.

Beyond Swelling: What Lymphatic Drainage Can Really Do

While MLD is often recommended for edema and lymphedema, newer studies suggest it may also help:

• Reduce chronic pain

• Improve mobility and flexibility

• Decrease fatigue

• Support recovery after surgery

• Enhance overall quality of life

Relief for Axillary Web Syndrome (Cording)

Axillary Web Syndrome (AWS)—also known as “cording”—can develop after breast cancer surgery and may cause:

• Tightness under the arm

• Pain and discomfort

• Limited range of motion

Research shows that manual lymphatic drainage may:

✔ Reduce pain more quickly

For clients recovering from surgery, this can make everyday movement feel easier and less restrictive.

Support for Pain, Fatigue & Chronic Conditions

Lymphatic drainage massage may also benefit those dealing with ongoing health challenges.

Studies suggest MLD can:

• Increase pain tolerance

• Support neurological conditions by improving circulation and fluid movement

This makes it a valuable addition to wellness routines for those managing chronic symptoms.
