Lymphatic Drainage Massage
in Ann Arbor.

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) stands as a refined, gentle manual technique, designed to enhance the flow of lymphatic fluid. Its subtle movements aim to stimulate lymphatic system to facilitate the removal of bodily waste, reduce swelling, and improve immune function.

Post-Operative Recovery MLD

At this time, Samantha is not accepting post-operative Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) clients. These sessions require a consistent series of treatments over a defined period, and due to current scheduling limitations, Samantha does not have the availability to provide the ongoing care these clients need.

For post-operative MLD, we recommend reaching out to Gina Rogers, LMT at Nurturing Heart Therapeutic Massage. Gina specializes in post-surgical recovery and can offer the continuity of care essential for optimal results.
