Lymphatic Drainage

If you have never experienced lymphatic drainage, you are in for a treat! This service is so refreshing and delightful, it will encourage your insides to feel clean and free of stagnancy. Sometimes called manual lymphatic drainage, this gentle treatment helps relieve swelling due to a medical procedure, or an illness of the lymphatic system. Its purpose is to reduce edema and promote the distribution of leukocytes to enhance immune response, and lymph function. Normally the lymphatic system collects lymph sending it first to a network of lymph vessels and nodes before returning it to the heart. When this process is interrupted lymph pools leading to swelling in the affected area. This may cause bloating, puffiness, stretch marks and make cellulite more noticeable. Using Lymphatic Drainage, your therapist will help your lymphatic system function properly, improve overall wellness, and guide you toward living your highest quality life.

Your lymphatic treatment will follow a two-step process starting with clearing, then reabsorption. Clearing releases lymph from your tissues, and reabsorption moves the fluid to your lymph nodes. This process assists your body’s natural function by encouraging lymph back to the heart to be properly removed.

If you suffer from a heart condition, have kidney failure, an infection, or blood clots lymphatic drainage massage is not recommended.
