It involves the application of pressure to these reflex zones to stimulate body organs and relieve areas of congestion.

Manual Lymph Drainage
Vodder Technique of Manual Lymph Drainage - Is a gentle massage-like modality created by Dr. Emil Vodder in Europe over a century ago. Our lymphatic vessels lie just below the skin's surface and are the source of natural healing to our cells.
In a recent study conducted by Dr. Casa's and Depoli's related to the healing of post -op patients revealed that the groups that received MLD as part of their post-op recovery experienced decreased swelling, decreased bruising, scar minimization, better pain management and shortened recovery time.
Manual Lymph Drainage is designed to allow lymph to flow and filter at a faster pace. It helps to eradicate toxins and accelerate the body's ability to repair cells. Betty has been trained and certified at the Master's level in this modality.

Profound and prolonged inflammation, tension in the tissues, immobilization, neural activity, and emotional stress all play a role in healthy scar tissue formation.. (N. Keeney Smith, C. Ryan)
