Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)

  • Reduce Swelling (Edema):

    MLD helps move excess fluid out of tissues and back into the bloodstream, reducing swelling.

Visceral Manipulation

Visceral Manipulation is a gentle manual therapy that focuses on the internal organs (viscera). The goal is to improve the mobility, function, and health of these organs by gently manipulating them with the hands. Like muscles and joints, organs can become restricted or misaligned, which then affect their function and cause pain or discomfort. It works by applying light pressure to the abdominal area, encouraging the organs to move more freely and function properly.

Improve organ function: By releasing tension and restrictions around organs, it can help them function better, especially if they’re not moving freely.

Reduce pain: It can help treat conditions like digestive issues, pelvic pain, and chronic pain related to the organs.

Restore balance: The therapy can help balance the body by improving the alignment and function of the organs, which may also relieve stress and tension in the body.

It’s commonly used for:

  • Digestive problems (like bloating or constipation)

  • Abdominal or pelvic pain

  • Pain after surgery or childbirth

  • Chronic pain and tightness
