How many fundamental MLD techniques are used in the Vodder approach?

Explanation:
Three techniques form the foundation of Vodder manual lymph drainage. They are effleurage (light, rhythmic stroking to stimulate lymph flow and prepare tissues), pumping (gentle, two-handed peristaltic movements used to move lymph along toward the regional drainage), and stationary circles (small circular motions held briefly to help clear congestion at lymph node groups). All other movements in the Vodder method are built from these three, so the standard approach centers on these three as the core techniques.
