You should only have MLD from a specially trained therapist in one of these types.How it worksThe aim of MLD is to move fluid from the swollen area into a place where the lymphatic system is working normally.To do this, the specialist first uses specialised skin movements to clear the area that they want the fluid to drain into.It might seem strange to have skin movements on your chest and neck if you have lymphoedema in your arm. But it means that the fluid has somewhere to drain to when the therapist treats your arm. How you have MLDYou usually lie down to have MLD. But if you have lymphoedema in your head and neck, you sit up.When you have MLD, you feel a gentle pressure. The skin movements are very light so that the small lymph vessels are not flattened. Flattened lymph vessels would prevent the lymph fluid from draining.
The movements are slow and rhythmic so that the lymph vessels open up.You might have MLD daily from Monday to Friday. Or you might have it 3 times a week, for about 3 weeks.The number of treatments you have depends on the type of MLD and what you need. Your specialist will also take into account the amount of swelling you have. After MLDThe specialist might bandage the area.
They use a specialised bandaging technique called multi-layered lymphoedema bandaging. If it is not possible or necessary to use bandages, you will need to wear a compression garment.Your lymphoedema specialist will regularly check how well your treatment is working. They’ll look at whether the tissues are softening and how much the swelling is going down.Once the swelling is under control, you might need another compression garment to wear. Remember that you are the person who will notice changes in the swelling first. You need to talk to your specialist about how your treatment is working.
