What is Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy?
Manual lymphatic drainage massage, more commonly known as Lymphatic Drainage Massage, is a form of therapeutic treatment that helps ease swelling caused by medical conditions or illnesses which block the flow of your lymph system. This process involves carefully manipulating specific parts of your body to encourage and direct the movement of fluid in an area with functioning vessels.
How it Works
A lymphatic drainage massage is a two-step process:
- Clearing: This step releases lymphatic fluid in your tissues.
- Reabsorption: This step moves your lymphatic fluid to your lymph nodes
Lymphatic drainage massage is a relaxing and gentle technique used to reduce any discomfort or swelling in your extremities due to lymphedema. This type of massage therapy can be especially beneficial for those who have undergone breast cancer surgery, as it helps the lymph vessels carry away harmful toxins from the body.
Lymphedema happens when your tissues retain fluid left behind after your cardiovascular system sends blood to your tissues and organs.
The fluid that is left over from your body’s filtration process is known as lymph. Your lymphatic system should take this liquid and cycle it back to your heart through a comprehensive network of vessels and nodes. When something blocks the flow, however, too much lymph builds up in the arms or legs leading to swelling.
A massage therapist can use specialized lymphatic drainage techniques to assist in the movement of fluid from your tissues to your lymph nodes. This helps reduce swelling and promote healing, making it an effective therapy for many individuals.
