Postpartum Manual Lymphatic Drainage – The Flavia Morellato Method
Rebalance, recover, and restore with Postpartum Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – a specialised treatment designed to support healing, hormonal balance, and overall well-being after childbirth. This gentle yet highly effective therapy flushes out excess fluids, promotes circulation, and speeds up recovery, helping new mothers feel lighter, more energised, and supported during this transformative period.
Why Postpartum Lymphatic Drainage?
Pregnancy and childbirth place significant demands on the body, often resulting in fluid retention, hormonal shifts, and sleep deprivation. MLD helps to accelerate the recovery process while providing much-needed TLC (tender loving care), making it an essential part of postnatal care.
Key Benefits:
- Balances hormones: Supports postpartum hormonal regulation, reducing mood swings and fatigue.
- Speeds up healing: Enhances circulation to aid tissue repair and scar recovery.
- Eliminates excess fluids & toxins: Helps to flush out water retention, including IV fluids received during labour.
- Promotes relaxation: Alleviates stress and supports mental and physical well-being, counteracting the effects of sleep deprivation.
- Assesses diastasis recti: Helps monitor abdominal muscle separation and supports recovery.
- Improves scar healing: Especially beneficial after a C-section, aiding scar tissue mobility and preventing adhesions.
- Kinesio Taping for Oedema: Supports postpartum recovery by enhancing lymphatic flow and reducing swelling. Read more about our specialised MUM Taping technique on our dedicated page.
When & How Often Should You Have MLD?
- After natural delivery: Recommended immediately postpartum to accelerate recovery.
- After a C-section: Safe to begin two weeks post-surgery, ensuring gentle support for healing.
- Ongoing support: Once or twice a week for optimal recovery and well-being.
