Lymphatic Drainage
is a massage therapy technique that uses light, flowing pressure on the lymph vessels to help the flow of lymphatic fluid. Your lymphatic system maintains the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, immune mechanisms, and helps eliminate your body’s waste. Lymph fluid can become stuck in the body, sometimes causing swelling. Lymphatic drainage can help the body maintain proper blood circulation, body fluid balance, and immune functions.
Many doctors recommend lymphatic drainage massage after specific surgeries where your lymphatic channels are disrupted. Lymphatic drainage massage can help reduce swelling and improve aesthetic results by decreasing congestion of the tissue. If you have had surgery, please make sure you are cleared by your doctor to receive bodywork before scheduling.
What to expect:
Your therapist will use a series of gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions over your body. These light rhythmic movements stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. Your therapist will follow a specific sequence over the body so to throughout address any lymph trapped, making sure every area is treated with care.
