At BodyLuv Massage, we believe in therapies that support healing from the inside out. Which is why Cindi flew across the country this year to learn one of the most nurturing and effective techniques available: Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage—a gentle, rhythmic massage designed to help your body feel lighter, less swollen, and more balanced.
💧 What Is Vodder Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Developed by Dr. Emil Vodder in the 1930s, Vodder MLD is a highly specialized technique that uses light, precise movements to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid through your body’s lymphatic system. Unlike deep tissue or Swedish massage, this technique uses feather-light pressure, timed in a specific rhythm, to encourage drainage from congested areas.
It’s slow. It’s intentional. And it works in harmony with your body’s natural detox system.
🌿 What Are the Benefits?
Clients come to us for MLD for a variety of reasons, and we’re always amazed by how powerful this gentle technique can be. Here are some of the benefits:
- Reduces swelling and fluid retention
- Speeds recovery after surgery (including cosmetic procedures)
- Boosts immune function by supporting lymphatic flow
- Relieves sinus pressure and chronic congestion
- Improves skin clarity and reduces inflammation
- Soothes the nervous system and promotes deep relaxation
And yes—it can leave you feeling lighter, both physically and emotionally.
✨ Who Is It For?
Vodder MLD is perfect for those recovering from procedures, dealing with lymphedema or general swelling, or looking to support their immune and detox systems naturally.
It's also an amazing support tool for people living with chronic inflammation or autoimmune conditions. And for those who just want to feel refreshed and relaxed without deep pressure? It’s magic.
Important Note: Because the lymphatic system plays such a critical role in immune function, this technique does have specific contraindications. We’ll always do an intake to make sure MLD is safe and beneficial for you.
👐 Why Vodder Certification Matters
Cindi recognized that not all lymphatic massage is created equal! So she made the decision to be trained specifically in the Vodder method—which means she understands the exact techniques, flow patterns, and anatomical systems needed to give you a safe, effective session. This level of training sets her apart and ensures your body is in the best hands.
