Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) in Portland, Oregon

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, highly specialized treatment that supports the body's natural lymphatic system. This therapy encourages the movement of lymphatic fluid, helping reduce swelling, improve circulation, support immune function, and promote healing.

At Healwell Portland, Julianne is certified in the Vodder Method of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, considered the gold standard in lymphatic therapy education.

What Is the Lymphatic System?

The lymphatic system helps remove excess fluid, cellular waste, toxins, and proteins from the body's tissues. Unlike the circulatory system, the lymphatic system does not have a pump and relies on movement, breathing, and muscle contractions to circulate lymph fluid.

When the lymphatic system becomes overwhelmed due to surgery, injury, illness, or chronic conditions, swelling and congestion can occur.
