Manual lymphatic drainage differs from classic massage by its softer and more directional movements. It may be used in comprehensive programs for selected types of swelling, but it should not replace medical evaluation. At Ahvar Clinic, indications are assessed individually.
What it addresses / benefits
- gentle soft-tissue treatment
- support of lymphatic drainage
- treatment of selected swollen areas
- gentle technique

Preparation
Patients should report newly developed swelling, thrombosis, infection, heart disease, and other chronic conditions before treatment.
How the procedure is performed
The specialist uses gentle, rhythmic movements in a specific sequence without intensive deep kneading.
Result / recovery
Changes in swelling depend on its cause. In diagnosed lymphedema, manual lymphatic drainage is generally considered part of comprehensive management.
