Lymphatic massage, also known as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), is a gentle massage technique that helps move excess fluid from swollen areas towards working lymph nodes, aiding in the body's natural detoxification process. 

The intention of lymphatic drainage massage is too encourage the natural drainage of the lymph system (part of your body's immune system), which carries waste/toxins away from the tissues toward the heart by gently manipulating specific areas of your body

​

• What it is:

  Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized massage technique that focuses on the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and nodes that plays a crucial role in the immune system and waste removal. 

• How it works:

  It involves gentle, rhythmic movements and light pressure to stimulate the lymphatic vessels and encourage the flow of lymph fluid, which carries waste products and toxins away from the tissues. 

• Benefits:

  • Reduces swelling (edema): By moving excess fluid, lymphatic massage can help reduce swelling in areas like arms, legs, and other parts of the body. 

  • Improves immune function: The lymphatic system is a key part of the immune system, and lymphatic massage can help support its function by facilitating the removal of waste and toxins. 

  • May relieve pain and stiffness: Research suggests that MLD can help reduce pain and stiffness related to autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, muscle tension, surgical procedures, and lymphedema. 

  • Can help with lymphedema: Lymphedema is a condition characterized by swelling due to a buildup of lymph fluid, and lymphatic massage is a common treatment for it. 

• Techniques:

  • Gentle pressure: Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic massage uses light pressure to stimulate the lymphatic vessels. 

  • Rhythmic movements: The movements are slow, rhythmic, and repetitive to encourage the flow of lymph fluid. 

  • Focus on specific areas: Therapists may focus on specific areas of the body, such as the legs, arms, or abdomen, depending on the individual's needs. 

• Who might benefit?

  • People with lymphedema: Lymphatic massage is a common treatment for lymphedema. 

  • People with swelling/edema: It can help reduce swelling in various areas of the body. 

  • People who are undergoing cancer treatment: Lymphatic massage can help manage side effects of cancer treatment, such as swelling and fatigue. 

  • People who want to support their immune system: It can help support the body's natural detoxification processes. 

  • People who have skin disorders

  • People who have arthritis

  • People with stress, anxiety, fatigue or insomnia

  • People who have digestive problems

  • People with Fibromyalgia
