LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE
Manual Lymph Drainage Massage is a slow and gentle manual technique that is used to drain excess fluid from the body and improve the overall functioning of the lymphatic and immune systems. The gentle pressure is combined with rhythmic circular motions to reduce swelling and encourage the body’s natural healing process.
Lymphatic drainage may help to:
- Speed and assist the drainage of swollen, puffy tissues.
- Improve circulation of the lymph (which aids the body’s immune system)
- Facilitates the body’s ability to repair itself faster (especially after surgeries and invasive procedures)
- Reduce pain caused by nerve irritation
- Aid the body’s natural process of waste removal and detoxification (maintains a healthy balance of fluid in your body)
Therefore, this technique is great for:
- Post-surgical swelling
- Injuries such as sprains, tendonitis, bruising, whiplash
- Sinus pain
- Migraines
- Lymphedema (chronic swelling caused by a buildup of fluid (lymph) due to a malfunctioning lymphatic system)
- Arthritis
- Cancer treatment including surgery or radiation
- Relaxation and general well being
Our Registered Massage Therapists, Traditional Chinese Acupuncturist and Senior Physiotherapist have received additional training and specialization in Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD).
