Manual Lymph Drainage

What is MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE? Manual lymph drainage, also known as the Vodder Technique is a treatment practiced by a certified Manual lymph drainage therapist. Manual lymph drainage is effective through the pumping and stretching effect on the lymph vessels. Manual lymph drainage stimulates contractions of the lymph vessels, which in turn assist the movement of lymph forward. This action drains connective tissues.

• Lymphedema after mastectomy
• Lymphostatic edema of the extremities
• Primary lymphedema
• Edema of traumatic origin (hematoma, sprains, joint dislocations, ligament lesions, torn muscles, treatment of fractures, etc.)
