After an injury or surgery, swelling of the lymphatic system is a common side effect. The result, lymphedema can affect the legs or arms and can cause pain, weakness, discoloration, and more issues the longer the problem
is allowed to go on. Getting MLD therapy from a certified manual lymph drainage therapist is the best way to relieve your symptoms.

MLD is an incredibly gentle treatment that includes light massage with rhythmic movements. These techniques move fluid through the lymph vessels under the skin. This drains fluid out of the limbs and through the lymph nodes which act as filters. Ultimately, this excess fluid returns to the
veins and then is eliminated from the body via urination. At Advance Physical Therapy, our therapists are trained and experienced in MLD and will help you treat lymphedema and other conditions related to your injury or
