Why is This Important?

Like Henry Ford, the inventor of the automobile, significant others embellished on the original work, and today we have many automobiles. Manual Lymph Drainage through the decades has been the same. Thoughts have been added  to the original work, relabeled and repackaged.  The MLD Institute does not teach, advocate or utilize these methods. Video footage shot inside the European Clinics of Lymphology demonstrating the original strokes of MLD bring students close up with European experts. *The greatest compliment from one of America’s leading spa director’s stated, “The MLD Institute is demonstrating the techniques I learned when I was in Europe training under Dr. Vodder’s instructor.”

 

How Does MLD Work?

Example: I give you a brand new car. The parts are perfect and glistening. How perfect would that car run if I told you not to change the oil?  It’s not enough to have great parts. Lymph fluid’s role can be compared to the oil and is as important to our body as oil is to the car. It must go through a filtration process. Naturally, the process is done with muscle movement, breathing, healthy diet and adequate hydration. But, how many get enough to keep lymph flowing and filtering at a healthy pace? With MLD, cellular debris (a component of lymph) is eradicated as lymphangiomotoricity is activated by the gentle strokes of MLD and filtration is achieved at an accelerated pace.

 

What Conditions Have Been Treated With MLD?

Coming back to the car example, imagine viscous oil is not properly cleansed due to poor filtration and movement. It begins to have an effect on the surrounding parts, and the performance of the car is sluggish.  This is why for the past century, it is common to find MLD on the menu of modalities for conditions such as these. Many can be found in The Compendium of Dr. Vodder’s Manual Lymph Drainage by Renato Kasseroller, as the list continues to grow with evidence-based research.
