Brief Summary

Manual lymphatic drainage techniques (MLDTs) are special techniques in manual therapy used in rehabilitation for treatment of physical dysfunctions and pathologies. Such practices could be done by medical team or clinicians. Theories on MLDTs address functions like stimulating the lymphatic system by increasing lymph circulation, facilitating the removal of waste products from body tissues, reducing edema, and decreasing the responses of sympathetic nervous system while increasing the parasympathetic nervous tone leading to a relaxed body state.
