Expert Lymphatic Drainage to Support Recovery, Reduce Swelling & Boost Wellbeing
Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a specialised, gentle massage technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage the natural removal of toxins and excess fluid from the body. At Arenas Spa, our therapists are trained in clinically informed methods to deliver safe, effective treatments tailored to your needs.
Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing fluid retention, or simply looking to support your overall wellness, our approach focuses on both results and comfort.
What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual lymphatic drainage is a light-pressure, rhythmic massage that works just beneath the skin to move lymph fluid through the lymph vessels and nodes. Unlike traditional massage, it does not target muscles but instead supports the body’s immune and detoxification processes.
The technique is widely used in both medical and wellness settings, particularly for:
- Post-surgical recovery
- Lymphoedema management
- Reducing bloating and water retention
- Supporting circulation and immune health
