Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a therapeutic massage technique designed to stimulate the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body. The lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system and plays a crucial role in immune function. It helps remove waste products, toxins, and excess fluids from the body tissues.

​

Here's how lymphatic drainage massage works:

​

Light Pressure: The massage therapist uses gentle, rhythmic strokes with very light pressure. The idea is to encourage the natural circulation of the lymphatic fluid, rather than applying deep pressure as in traditional massages.

 

Specific Movements: The massage therapist may use specific techniques and movements to target lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels. These movements are usually in the direction of lymph flow, helping to move fluid toward the lymph nodes where it can be filtered and processed.

 

Sequence: The massage often follows a specific sequence, starting from the neck and working down towards the extremities. This sequence is designed to mimic the natural flow of lymphatic fluid in the body.

 

Promoting Detoxification: The primary goal of lymphatic drainage massage is to promote detoxification by assisting the body in eliminating waste and toxins. It can also help reduce swelling or edema, improve immune system function, and enhance overall well-being.

​

Lymphatic drainage massage is often recommended for individuals who experience lymphedema, a condition where there is swelling due to a blockage in the lymphatic system. It's also ideal for post-surgery recovery, such as after certain types of cancer treatments or cosmetic surgeries, to reduce swelling and promote healing.
