Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized therapeutic technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid through the lymphatic system. It involves gentle, rhythmic massage movements that help reduce swelling, remove toxins, and improve overall lymphatic function. In the context of cancer, MLD is often used to manage lymphedema, a condition characterized by severe swelling due to the accumulation of lymph fluid, which can occur after cancer treatments like surgery or radiation.
