How many treatments do I need?
Lymph has the consistency of honey and moves very slowly. For MLD to be effective, you need at least 12-15 sessions in close succession, with occasional top-ups when symptoms return. I would recommend at least 3 treatments per week for 5 weeks, or better still 5 treatments per week for 3 weeks to start with.
