About manual lymphatic drainage
Swollen ankles, puffy hands and a heavy, tired feeling are common in later pregnancy and in the days after birth. Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a very light, rhythmic technique that supports your body's natural drainage.
It is gentle enough for pregnancy and recovery, deeply relaxing, and all the more welcome when you do not have to travel to receive it. After a caesarean, we will check timing with you and your care team first.

Questions about manual lymphatic drainage
Is lymphatic drainage safe in pregnancy?
Yes, MLD is a gentle technique suitable for pregnancy. We will always ask about your health first and check anything we are unsure of with your care team.
Can I have MLD after a caesarean?
Often, yes, once you are ready and your wound is healing well. We will check timing with you and your care team first.
