Manual Lymphatic Drainage is the go-to restorative and correctional therapy for those suffering from an impaired lymphatic system. At Total Body, our highly trained staff is certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage, using the gold-standard Vodder Method.

The lymphatic system is a slow-moving network of fine vessels responsible for removing excess fluid, toxins, waste, and dead blood cells from the tissue while also delivering nutrients, oxygen, and hormones to the cells. A slow-moving or blocked lymphatic system is responsible for many ailments.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is indicated for: clearing areas of congestion such as swollen ankles and legs, reducing water retention, promoting scar-tissue healing and regeneration, detoxifying the body, treating cellulite, clearing up skin problems (acne, rosacea, eczema, wrinkles, puffiness under the eyes), providing relief from chronic pain (including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, neuralgia, arthritis, migraine headaches, etc.), and promoting deep relaxation to aid insomnia, stress, loss of vitality, and loss of memory.

As a side benefit to alleviating the ailments listed above, your MLD treatment using the Vodder Method will provide you with a sense of complete and deep relaxation. This is due to the nature of the treatment (light rhythmical motions that encourage detoxification via the lymph system).

Our MLD for Wellness treatment is a 90-minute session only; it covers your full body, including some time on the face. We also offer a separate service covering the face and head only.
