Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)

Emil Vodder, a Danish massage therapist, used research and experiential evidence to help his clients to heal.  His technique is known as Manual Lymph Drainage, or MLD.  This method for lymphatic drainage involves flat hands and using all of the fingers to simulate wave-like movements. The results include the reduction of certain types of edema (those resulting from trauma and/or scarring).  See also Lymph Drainage.
