Manual Lymphatics Drainage (MLD) is a form of soft-tissue mobilization.  Our body’s immune system is highly dependent on the lymphatic system function.
The lymphatic system is located close to the surface of the skin and is composed of  a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, and vessels (ducts and nodes) that transport the fluid.

Massage is increasingly used prior to and during delivery. Researchers have found that massage therapy reduces pain during labor (Gallo & others, 2018, Shahoei & others, 2017). For example, a recent study found that lower back massage reduced women's labor pain and increased their satisfaction with the experience (Unalmis Erdogan, Yanikkereem & Goker 2018)
A study found that both kangaroo care (the holding of a baby upright against the parent's bare skin for 2-3 hours daily) and massage therapy were equally effective in improving body weight and reducing length of hospital stay for low birth weight infants (Rangey & Sheth, 2014). In another recent study, massage therapy improved the scores of HIV-exposed infants on both physical and mental scales, while also improving their hearing and speech (Perez & others, 2015).
