Lymphatic Drainage Massage

This specialized treatment focuses on the lymphatic system, which is part of the immune system. It aims to promote proper circulation, body fluid balance and immune function.

WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE?

The Lymphatic System has a few important roles in our body, which includes transporting harmful bacteria away from the rest of the body to the lymph nodes for elimination. As with our Cardiovascular System, the Lymphatic System may not always be working perfectly – just as poor blood flow causes illness, issues with the Lymphatic System can cause many problems, such as reduced immune function and swelling (Lymphedema).

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is designed to work directly on the Lymphatic System in order to restore the correct flow of lymph throughout the body. This is accomplished by gently manipulating the affected areas of the body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels. By clearing these blockages, the Lymphatic System is then able to return to optimal function.
