MLD is a gentle, rhythmic massage that stimulates the lymphatic system, helping the body remove excess fluid, reduce swelling, and support immune function.

How Soon After Surgery Should You Have

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)? MLD can usually begin within a few days after surgery, often around 3–5 days post-op, once cleared by your surgeon and provided there are no complications.

How Often Should I Have Manual Lymphatic

Drainage Massages? MLD is recommended three times per week initially. During the second week, it should be performed at least twice per week, with the frequency reduced gradually thereafter.

Why Should I Consider Block Booking My Post operative MLD Sessions?

Block booking allows you to pre-schedule your sessions in advance, helping you stay consistent with your recovery plan. Post-op MLD typically requires a minimum of 10 sessions for best results, and to help you maximise your outcome, you can take advantage of the block booking offer of 12 sessions for the price of 10.

Why is Manual Lymphatic Drainage Important Post Op?
