Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Quick explanation!
Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle massage technique that uses light pressure and rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system and remove excess fluid from the body. This therapy can help reduce swelling, improve immune system function, and promote healing by increasing circulation and eliminating toxins. This treatment is ideal for those with lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, and other conditions that affect the lymphatic system.
A little more in-depth!
Your lymphatic system is a group of organs, vessels, and tissues that protect you from infection, help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph- (a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells) throughout the body.
Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a series of gentle, rhythmic motions that are non-invasive and follow the path of lymph flow around the treatment area. By performing Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage it can increase the volume of lymph flow by as much as 20 times.
Lymphatic drainage techniques have been found to help with chronic and subacute inflammatory processes, e.g. chronic fatigue syndrome, auto-immune disease, arthritis, bronchitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, acne, ear infections, eczema, etc. Also many other dysfunctions or symptoms such as muscle strains/sprains, cellulite, spasms, irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, PMS, sleep disorders, depression, skin tone/complexion/wrinkles, fibromyalgia, hangovers, jet lag, chronic gastritis, stress ulcers, etc. Lymphatic Drainage is especially helpful to increase the healing process after any surgery, including but not limited to, mommy makeovers, weight loss surgery, skin removal after weight loss, liposuction, or any major/ minor surgeries you may receive for whatever your needs.
