What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage (also known as manual lymph drainage or MLD) is a gentle form of massage that focuses on the lymphatic system. This form of massage is beneficial for relieving fluid retention, lymphedema due to lymph node removal, swollen or puffy legs/ankles and even help your body in expelling common viruses and infections.
What Is The Lymphatic System and What Does It Do?
The lymphatic system is a network of organs, blood vessels and tissues that work together to move lymphatic fluid throughout your body. This clear fluid contains your body’s waste products, toxins, excess fluids and immune cells. These waste products are then filtered through your lymph nodes.
As an important part of your immune system, your lymphatic system protects you from infection and gets rid of old or abnormal cells within your body. It also helps to maintain the normal fluid levels in your body, absorbing fats and vitamins so they can make their way into your bloodstream. When this system isn’t working properly, lymph fluids can build up causing swelling, discomfort and put you at an increased risk of infections.
Lymph massage stimulates and enhances the natural flow of this lymphatic fluid and promotes efficient drainage and detoxification. By applying gentle, rhythmic movements and pressure along the lymphatic pathways, our highly trained therapists can help release blockages, reduce swelling and improve your overall lymphatic circulation.
