Lymphatic Massage Therapy

What Is A Lymphatic Drainage Massage?

Lymphatic Massage is a therapeutic massage technique that uses gentle Rhythmic strokes to stimulates the natural drainage of lymph nodes. It also helps your lymph vessels to speed up the transport of waste, toxins, and excess fluid to your lymph nodes which are then filtered. The lymphatic system is essential for your overall health. If the lymphatic system is disrupted, it could lead to lymph fluid buildup that normally collects in your arms and legs and causes swelling. The regulation of your lymph fluid is important because lymph fluid contains white blood cells that help to fight infections in your body. The lymphatic drainage massage provides many therapeutic and medical benefits, such as:
