Lymphatic Drainage Massage
💧Lymphatic drainage massage is designed to improve the functioning of the lymphatic system
💧This is achieved by gentle, rhythmical movements of the skin to stimulate the contraction of the lymphatic vessels
💧More metabolic waste products & excess fluid can then be removed from the body's tissues & enter into the lymph system
💧Once in the lymphatic system the lymph fluid, can travel through the system passing through a series of lymph nodes where it will be cleansed of dead cells, bacteria & other waste products
💧The clean lymph is then returned to the blood stream
💧Lymphatic Drainage was cultivated in the 1930's by Dr Emil Vodder, a Danish physician. Research by specialists in the field of lymphology, since his pioneering work, has shown how this method can effectively influence the lymphatic system
💧A well-functioning lymphatic system plays an important part in the body's immune response & is important to encourage healthy body tissue
💧Some factors that can affect the lymphatic system are:
•Exercise/lack of exercise
•Breathing
•Digestion
•Cold/heat
•Tight clothing
•Lymph drainage massage
💧The Correct pressure is light enough so you don’t feel anything beneath the skin. It’s hard to believe that something so light could be so effective
💧A press & release followed by 'zero pressure' action is performed over the lymph to activate the lymph nodes
💧This is then followed by stationery circles & pump action techniques to get the lymph moving
💧If you think of the lymphatic system as a blocked drain, the 'unblocking' process should be done from proximal to distal to get things flowing freely.
