LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

The Hollywood lymphatic DRAINAGE is a form or massage that stimulates the natural DRAINAGE of the lymph nodes to remove waste products from the body. Relieves what happens when medical treatments or illness block your lymphatic system. Lymphatic DRAINAGE involves manipulating specific parts of your body to help move lymph to an area with working lymphatic vessels. A massage therapist uses lymphatic DRAINAGE techniques to move lymph from your tissues to your lymph nodes, relieving swelling in your tissues.

 

A lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized form of massage therapy that uses gentle movements and gentle pressure to improve lymph flow and relieve symptoms of fluid retention.

 

When the heart pumps blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs, some of the fluid from the bloodstream leaks into the tissues. This fluid is called lymph. The role of the lymphatic system is to return lymph to the bloodstream, filtering potential pathogens through the lymph nodes before they reach the blood.

 

Lymphatic drainage massage is a recommended treatment for lymphedema (tissue swelling due to lymphatic accumulation), but is also gaining popularity as a wellness and skin rejuvenation treatment.
