MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE IN COLUMBUS, OHIO
(CMLDT CERTIFIED)
MLD... a different kind of massage
Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, specialized form of lymphatic drainage massage designed to encourage the natural movement of lymphatic fluid and support healthy fluid balance.
MLD uses gentle, rhythmic movements at the surface of the skin rather than the deeper pressure used in traditional massage.
You may notice a subtle stretching or movement of the skin as the technique follows the body's lymphatic pathways.
Many people find MLD deeply calming and relaxing, while others seek it for concerns such as swelling, fluid retention, post-operative recovery, congestion, or lymphatic health.
No deep pressure. No digging. No painful massage. Just gentle, intentional movement.

The Vodder Difference
A SPECIALIZED APPROACH TO MLD
I'm a Certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapist (CMLDT), trained in the Dr. Vodder Method through Klose Training.
The Vodder Method is a highly specialized technique based on the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system. It's much more than simply using a lighter touch.
Every movement has a purpose. Direction, pressure, rhythm, and sequence are carefully applied according to the body's lymphatic pathways.
Gentle doesn't mean random. There's a lot of knowledge, precision, and technique behind that light touch—and that's what makes Vodder MLD unique.
How often should I come in?
It depends on your goals.
For general wellness and relaxation, many clients enjoy an MLD session every 2–4 weeks.
If you're recovering from surgery or working with a specific condition, your treatment frequency should be individualized and follow your surgeon's, physician's, or healthcare provider's recommendations.
