Pregnancy Manual Lymphatic Drainage – The Flavia Morellato Method
Experience the benefits of Pregnancy Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) – a safe, physiotherapist-designed treatment to relieve water retention, heavy legs, and discomfort caused by pregnancy hormones. This gentle therapy enhances circulation, reduces swelling, and promotes relaxation, creating a healthier environment for both mother and baby.
Why Pregnancy Lymphatic Drainage?
Hormonal changes during pregnancy increase water retention and swelling, often leading to discomfort. MLD helps to alleviate these symptoms naturally, supporting overall well-being.

- Enhances detoxification: Flushes out toxins for improved overall health.
- Minimises pregnancy-related cellulite: Stimulates metabolism and skin tone.
When & How Often Should You Have MLD?
