"Equine Manual Lymphatic Drainage - Clinical Applications for the Equine Athlete"

Written by Rebecka Blenntoft for the European Trainer Magazine - Issue 35 - Autumn 2011. The article describes the role of the equine lymphatic system, how it differs to that of the human and the clinical applications of Equine Manual Lymphatic Drainage (EMLD).

Rebecka Blenntoft is a Human and Equine MLD Therapist and the piece features in the Veterinary section of the European Trainer Magazine.  This article gives a detailed and most interesting account of the use of EMLD which was developed in Germany, and how it is gaining a foothold in veterinary medicine and becoming a popular treatment modality for performance horses on the Continent.  PhysioPod UK Limited are delighted that a small mention has been made of DEEP OSCILLATION® and Kinesio tape which (although not conclusively proven) may augment EMLD and that both are well tolerated by horses.
