manual lymphatic drainage massage
What is Lymphatic Drainage massage?
A gentle treatment that has powerful cleansing, relaxing, pain relieving and immunological effects on the body.
Manual lymphatic drainage massage promotes the optimal functioning of the body's lymphatic system, by using techniques which help remove waste products, excess water, toxins, bacteria, and foreign substances via the vessels of the lymphatic system. This in turn helps to relax the sympathetic nervous system, reduce pain, and boost the immune system.
As a treatment it can help with a wide range of problems including oedema, skin disorders, headaches, sinus congestion, aches and pains, stress, and digestive disorders to name a few. It is also beneficial pre- and post-surgery to reduce tissue congestion, oedema and minimise scar formation, as well as relieving pain and tension.
After care for Manual Lymphatic Drainage is important and includes increasing your fluid intake (water) for a few days after treatment. Wearing loose clothing and making time to relax. Avoid hot baths / saunas for 2-3 hours after the treatment. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours post treatment.
