MLD & Autoimmune Conditions

Evidence based research around Manual Lymphatic Drainage is severely lacking. This does not have anything to do with the efficacy of the modality, and everything to do with it not being in pharmaceutical companies interest to fund such studies.

However, there is some promising research around MLD in the treatment of autoimmune disorders. It’s well known that lymphatic dysfunction is a major component in the severity of symptoms associated with many autoimmune conditions, and now research is starting to come out supporting what our practitioners and clients have known anecdotally for some time - MLD is effective at reducing overall inflammation and thus the symptoms associated with chronic inflammation.

If you’re struggling with an autoimmune condition MLD is an excellent modality to add to your treatment regimen, and for some it can truly be a game changer!
