MANUAL LYMPH DRAINAGE: THE DR. VODDER TECHNIQUE

As physical therapists in France in the 1930’s, the Vodders (Estrid and Emil) originated a method of working directly on a part of the body that was, until that time considered taboo i.e. the lymph nodes. By 1936 they had compiled a systematic series of precise massage movements using a combination of intuition, practical experience and anatomical knowledge of the lymph vessel system. The gentle, rhythmic, pumping movements following the direction of lymph flow in the skin produced rapid results, especially with skin conditions such as hematoma, eczema and varicose veins. At the start of the Second World War, they returned to their native Denmark and started the Vodder Center MLD. The Dr. Vodder School is now located in Austria and trains therapists from around the world. In Europe, manual lymph drainage is a procedure recognized by many state health insurance plans and in Germany for example, it is now the third most prescribed physical therapy technique.

The lymph vessel system is responsible for carrying excess water, proteins and wastes from the connective tissue back to the blood stream. During the transportation process it is cleaned, filtered and concentrated with many immune reactions occurring in the lymph nodes. If the pathways become congested, blocked, damaged or severed then fluids can build up in the skin connective tissue causing swelling and eventually cell pathology may begin. If there is damage
or congestion in the connective tissue, including the dermis (e.g. burns, chronic inflammation, ulceration, hematoma), then the lymph vessel system must transport the damaged cells, inflammatory products and toxins away from the area. The quicker this can happen, the faster the recovery will be.

Through the pumping and stretching effect of the lymph vessels, MLD makes lymph flow faster and stimulates the formation of new connections between lymph vessels. There has been extensive scientific research in Europe (Hutzschenreuter, Mislin, Foldi, Collard et al), Australia (Piller) and USA (Tan, Maus).
Dermatological indications are numerous and in the esthetic setting, MLD is used to restore skin to normal health. Some indications for the Dr. Vodder method of MLD include pre- and post- plastic surgery, blepheroplasty, scar tissue, skin congestion, spider veins, teleangiectasia and rosacea.

Founded in 1994, the Dr. Vodder School – International is the only school authorized by the Vodder Center MLD and the Dr. Vodder School in Austria to teach the original Dr. Vodder.
Certified teachers of the Dr. Vodder School teach Basic and Advanced classes throughout the world. The Dr. Vodder School maintains a referral list of all currently certified therapists and this is posted on its website at www.vodderschool.com.
