Manual Lymphatic Drainage
The Queen of Massages
Lymphatic drainage is a very gentle technique. It is used to increase lymph flow and encourage the natural drainage of toxins, bodily waste, and inflammation from the lymph system. It is beneficial for those who have recently gone through a surgery, dealt with any autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, have swollen lymph nodes and scar appearance reduction treatments. This form of massage is also used for sports injuries caused by accidents such as bruises, sprains, dislocations, torn muscle fibres, fractures and whiplash injuries. Pain in the affected area can be alleviated and the healing process can be accelerated. The drainage relieves the feeling of tension in the body and helps with heavy legs, varicose veins and after vein surgery. In addition, manual lymphatic drainage is used for decongesting, detoxifying and has a strong relaxing and calming effect as well as it strengthens the immune system. The removal of the lymphatic fluid from the tissue is promoted with gentle, rhythmically rotating and pumping techniques. This massage is completed without the use of oil.
