Manual lymphatic drainage

Back to your favorite activity

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a physiotherapeutic treatment method that is often prescribed following traumatic injuries and resulting swelling. To reduce swelling and accelerate the healing process after an injury, it is essential to boost metabolism and blood circulation in combination with exercise.

Our therapists create personalized treatment plans to ensure that you recover from your injury as quickly as possible and get back into top shape. At the REHAFABRIK physical therapy practice in Oldenburg and Bremen, we support you on your journey to regaining your athletic performance.

Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a physical therapy technique designed to promote lymph flow in the body through gentle, rhythmic movements. To effectively support wound healing after an injury, scientific studies recommend combining it with compression and exercise therapy. In this context, physical therapy lymphatic drainage should be part of a multimodal treatment plan.

Physiotherapy at REHFABRIK can assist you with this:

  • Restore mobility
  • Strengthen the muscles around the shoulder
  • Improving stability and control
  • To reduce pain
  • Optimizing posture and movement execution

Evidence-based approaches such as targeted manual techniques and functional stabilization exercises—support the restoration of neuromuscular control and reduce the risk of recurrence.

How does manual lymphatic drainage work?

Recent scientific findings recommend combining lymphatic drainage therapy with exercise and compression. Exercise therapy is crucial for reducing tissue congestion, particularly in cases of lymphedema and swelling.

It promotes lymphatic flow, activates muscles to aid in the drainage of fluids, improves blood circulation, and increases mobility.

It also helps relieve pain. At REHAFABRIK in Oldenburg, we use targeted lymphatic drainage in combination with exercise therapy to provide you with the best possible support and help you recover more quickly.
