Lymphatic Drainage

Therapy

What is Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?

Lymphatic drainage therapy is a form of gentle massage aimed at stimulating the lymphatic system to improve metabolism, promote the removal of bodily toxins, and boost immune function.

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and helps to fight infection and balance bodily fluids.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD):

Technique: This is a specialized massage technique that involves light, rhythmic strokes to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph from the tissues space body-wide.

Application: Performed by trained therapists, MLD is often used post-surgery or to treat lymphedema and other conditions related to lymphatic blockage.

Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Reducing Swelling and Lymphedema:

Particularly effective in reducing lymphatic swelling and lymphedema, which can occur following surgery or due to lymphatic system disruptions.

Enhancing

Immune System:

By improving lymphatic circulation, it helps the body to remove toxins and increases the effectiveness of the immune system.

Speeding Recovery from Surgery or Illness:

Accelerates the removal of waste products and reduces swelling, thus aiding in the recovery process post-surgery.

Improving

Skin Health:

Can improve the appearance of skin by reducing swelling and potentially reducing cellulite.

Relieving

Chronic Pain:

Helps in managing pain and provides relief by decreasing the pressure caused by fluid retention and swelling.

Short and Long Term Effects

The treatments have been proven to reduce the need for medication, improve the outcomes for conditions treated and increase the recovery rates of affected tissues. In many instances, surgery can be delayed or even avoided. The following are some of the effects of the treatment:

Increases endorphin production which allows for reduction in pain medication
Elevates adenosine triphosphate production which increases energy for the cells
Modulates white blood cells which improves immune response
Stimulates DNA production and cell division which increases the rate of healing
Promotes collagen synthesis which enhances muscle, tendon and ligament strength
Improves lymphatic drainage which causes a reduction in swelling
Promotes angiogenesis and the creation of new blood vessels which improves circulation
Reduces inflammation and swelling leading to faster recovery time
