Brevard Acupuncture & Integrative Medicine of Rockledge is excited to offer Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). Karen Hedley, MFA, LMT, MLD-C, is an Advanced Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist having studied extensively with the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS). “My clients love the gentle, soothing strokes of MLD and the amazing results of the therapy,” says Hedley. “They report less swelling and pain, improved sleep, weight loss, and an overall feeling of wellbeing.”

Developed by Dr. Emil and Estrid Vodder, MLD is becoming more popular, assisting in a quicker recovery after surgery, injury, and/or trauma. MLD accelerates the healing process by decreasing swelling, pain, bruising, and the buildup of toxins and scar tissue.

Lymph is interstitial fluid that bathes, nourishes, and cleans your cells. It also maintains normal fluid levels of the body and protects the body from pathogens. MLD stimulates and increases the movement of lymph.

MLD is also known to help with chronic fatigue syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, chronic venous insufficiency and chronic pain reduction.

Ask your doctor or surgeon if MLD is right for you. For more information and to schedule an appointment, call 321-802-1046. Some insurances are accepted. Brevard Acupuncture and Integrative Medicine, 1978 US 1, Ste 107, Rockledge. BrevardAIM.com.
