<p>MLDUK was formed in 1994 to educate healthcare professionals and the general public about the benefits of manual lymph drainage (MLD) and how it can be used to treat lymphoedema and other conditions. As well as promoting and providing information to better educate MLD therapists, healthcare professionals and the wider public, it has compiled an official register of qualified MLD therapists who are trained, insured and up-to-date in their practice. In 2008, it launched the charity MLDUK Lymfund to help provide funding for those in need of MLD treatment sessions.</p>
