what makes dr vodder’s mld so distinctive
Dr. Vodder method of Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) is a unique method developed in France in the 1930s. It is used to enhance fluid movement in the skin. It also has a very powerful relaxing and calming effect on the nervous system.
The gentle, rhythmic, pumping, massage movements follow the direction of lymph flow and produce rapid results. This is a gentle, non-invasive manual technique that restores the lymphatic system and has a powerful effect on the body.
Research in Australia, Europe and North America has proven its efficacy as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with other therapies.

Dr. Vodder calls this “clearing the chain lymph nodes down to the terminus”. The treatment will then be provided to the body in order to ensure proper flow
