Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Philadelphia

Gentle, Restorative Detox Therapy with Specialist Benjamin Lin at Vyve Wellness

What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a specialized, hands-on massage technique designed to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system, reduce swelling, and promote natural detoxification.

This gentle, rhythmic massage encourages lymph fluid to move more freely throughout the body, helping to eliminate waste, reduce inflammation, and support immune health.

At Vyve Wellness in Philadelphia, our Manual Lymphatic Drainage sessions are performed by our highly skilled specialist, Benjamin Lin, known for his expert touch and individualized care.

What to Expect During Your Manual Lymphatic Drainage Session

Each MLD session at Vyve Wellness is customized based on your specific needs.

  • Treatment is performed with very light, rhythmic strokes — this is not a deep tissue massage.

  • Focus is placed on lymph nodes and drainage pathways to gently move fluid.

  • Clients often feel deeply relaxed, lighter, and less swollen after their session.

  • Sessions are typically 60 minutes and may be recommended in a series for optimal results.

FAQs

How is Manual Lymphatic Drainage different from other lymphatic treatments?

MLD is performed entirely by hand using specific rhythmic movements — no machines or tools — and is ideal for gentle detox, immune support, and stress relief.

Is MLD painful?

Not at all. MLD uses feather-light, rhythmic strokes that are deeply calming and soothing to the body.

How many sessions do I need?

This depends on your goals. For general wellness, 1-2 sessions per month is ideal. For post-surgical recovery or chronic swelling, a series of weekly sessions may be recommended.

Can I receive MLD after surgery?

Yes — MLD is one of the most recommended treatments after cosmetic or medical surgery to help reduce swelling and promote healing. Always consult with your surgeon first.

What should I wear?

Loose, comfortable clothing. The treatment is done on a massage table with appropriate draping for comfort and privacy.
