Lymphatic massage is a type of massage that focuses on the lymphatic system, a network of vessels and nodes that plays a crucial role in the body's immune system and fluid balance.
Unlike traditional massage, lymphatic massage uses light, rhythmic strokes to gently push lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes, where it can be filtered and processed.
Benefits:
- Reduced swelling: Lymphatic massage can help reduce swelling and fluid retention in various parts of the body.
- Improved immune function: By stimulating the lymphatic system, lymphatic massage can help boost the body's immune response.
- Detoxification: Lymphatic massage can help the body rid itself of toxins and waste products more effectively.
- Pain relief: It can help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with certain conditions, such as Lymphedema.
Who should get it?
- People with Lymphedema (a condition causing swelling due to fluid buildup).
- People who have had surgery or injuries that may affect lymphatic drainage.
- People who experience swelling, fluid retention, or fatigue.
