Who Should NOT Receive Manual Lymph Drainage

MLD is generally safe, given the very light pressure used in the technique.
But in cases where increased lymphatic flow would be detrimental, MLD should be avoided.

People with the following conditions should not receive MLD:

​

• Acute infections, including inflammation caused by bacteria, viruses, poisons or allergens

• Renal failure

• Cardiac edema – swelling caused by cardiac insufficiency or other major heart problems

• Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), phlebitis

• Acute bronchitis

• Malignant tumors

​

Prior to treatment, your lymphatic massage therapist will discuss your medical history, and in the interest of safety, we will not perform MLD in the presence of any of the above conditions. In addition, we are not certified to treat clients with lymphedema. Please consult a medical professional for proper referral and treatment.
