MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Manual Lymphatic Drainage focuses on promoting the work of the lymphatic system that plays a crucial role in immune function and fluid balance within the body. It aims to stimulate the flow of lymph, helping to remove toxins, waste products, and excess fluid from the tissues.

Main benefits of Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage involves gentle, rhythmic strokes that follow the direction of lymphatic flow. The strokes are light and rhythmic, applying slight pressure to the skin to encourage the movement of lymph fluid. It enhances the clearing of the pathways and stimulation of lymphatic flow. This may include circular movements, pumping motions, and gentle stretching of the skin.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage can be beneficial for reducing oedema, which is the swelling caused by fluid accumulation in the tissues. By promoting lymphatic flow, it helps to alleviate fluid retention and reduce swelling in areas such as the arms, legs, and face.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in immune function by carrying immune cells throughout the body. By enhancing lymphatic circulation, lymphatic drainage massage can help support the immune system, improve detoxification, and promote overall health and well-being.

It can induce relaxation and reduce stress levels. The gentle and soothing nature of the strokes can promote a sense of calm and well-being.
