Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is frequently applied in physiotherapy to manage lymphedema and postoperative swelling. Despite its widespread clinical use, uncertainty remains regarding its additional benefit beyond established treatments such as compression therapy and exercise. Recent research increasingly evaluates MLD within multimodal treatment frameworks rather than as a standalone intervention, necessitating an updated evidence-based synthesis.
