Benefits of Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD)

Reduces swelling and speeds healing by moving fluid from injured or damaged lymphatic areas to healthy/intact ones. (lymphedema, post surgery, injuries, chronic venous insufficiency)
Removes waste products, toxins, bacteria, protein molecules and foreign substances from the tissues. (Lyme die-off, detoxing from medications, chemo)
Boosts the immune system by speeding up the transport of bacteria and allergens to the lymph nodes, our body’s defense system. Lymph stagnation hampers the immunological response. (chronic colds, sinusitis, allergies, autoimmune conditions, etc)

Reduces pain in 3 ways: by moving pain mediators out of the tissues, removing excess fluid that can press on pain receptors, and by the Gate Theory of Pain, where touch receptors are stimulated by the rhythmic MLD strokes which overtake the signals sent by pain receptors.
Has a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system, inducing a deep relaxed state.

Testimonials

Here’s what my clients have to say about me!

Post chemotherapy for ovarian cancer, I experienced neuropathy and swelling in my ankles and legs. Regular visits with Madge Lockwood for MLD have made a significant improvement in my body’s ability to flush liquids, resulting in significantly less swelling and reduced neuropathy.

Gretchen E

As a fibromyalgia sufferer with muscle pain and lymphatic issues, I have seen many bodyworkers. Madge Lockwood is by far the best. She understands these disease issues, and takes a holistic approach to applying massage to address them.

Ken S

The Marnitz therapy sessions have done more to help me realign after hip replacement surgery than the physical therapy (which was also really helpful). But just the few treatments have made an immense difference in how my leg works, and how it feels.

Addressing COVID-19 concerns:

Masking is optional at my Wauwatosa office. I continue to wear an N95 mask to protect my immunocompromised clients. I sanitize high touch areas and the treatment room between every session. I run a HEPA filter in the room and monitor ventilation. Clients will be asked to wash or sanitize their hands upon arrival and to cancel/reschedule their appointment if feeling unwell or any symptoms of a cold, COVID19 or flu or close contact with someone with symptoms.
