Joint Space Lymphatic Therapy in Dubai
At Joint Space, our Lymphatic Therapy programs combine Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) with specialized treatments for lymphedema, lipedema, and post-operative recovery. Delivered by certified therapists, these gentle techniques stimulate your lymphatic system, helping reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support the body’s natural detoxification process.
What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)?
MLD is a gentle, hands-on technique that uses light, rhythmic movements to activate the superficial lymph vessels just under the skin. This enhances lymph flow, reduces fluid retention, and calms the nervous system.
MLD can be highly effective for:
- Lymphedema – chronic swelling due to lymphatic obstruction or damage
- Lipedema – pain and swelling caused by abnormal fat accumulation
- Post-surgical swelling – speeding recovery after cosmetic or orthopaedic surgery
- Post-traumatic swelling – from injuries like sprains or fractures
- Migraine and headache relief – reducing pressure through fluid balance
- Chronic fatigue & immune support – stimulating immune function
- Pregnancy-related swelling – easing discomfort under medical guidance
- Fibromyalgia – relieving pain and stress
- Detoxification & cellulite control – supporting natural elimination pathways
Lymphedema Treatment
Lymphedema is chronic fluid accumulation caused by a compromised lymphatic system. It may occur due to genetics (primary) or as a result of surgery, radiation, cancer treatments, or trauma (secondary).
Our Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) approach includes:
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)
- Compression Bandaging & Garments
- Exercise Therapy
- Skin & Nail Care for infection prevention
- Education & Self-care strategies
By combining treatment and maintenance phases, we reduce swelling, prevent complications, and help patients regain comfort and mobility.
Lipedema Treatment
Lipedema is a chronic fat tissue disorder often mistaken for obesity, leading to painful, disproportionate fat buildup (legs, hips, buttocks, arms). Symptoms include tenderness, swelling, heaviness, and easy bruising.
Our approach:
- MLD to reduce pain and swelling
- Custom compression garments
- Exercise & lifestyle support
- Patient education for long-term management
Post-Operative Swelling Management
Surgery often disrupts lymphatic pathways, leading to swelling, discomfort, or fibrosis if unmanaged.
We provide:
- Pre-surgical MLD – preparing tissues and boosting lymph flow
- Post-surgical MLD – reducing swelling and fibrosis
- Fibrosis prevention/treatment – ensuring smooth recovery
- Lymphatic system restoration – reactivating natural healing pathways
Patients who undergo lymphatic therapy after surgery experience faster healing, reduced complications, and better surgical outcomes.
