Manual Lymph Drainage
Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle form of massage, unlike any
other. It is based on light touch and delicate scooping and pumping movements
which stimulate one of the body's most vital cleansing waste disposal systems -
the Lymphatic system.
The main functions of the Lymphatic system
are:
The removal of waste products from
the tissue
The transport of nutrients
and immune function
The sedentary western life-style, with lack
of exercise and highly refined diet excess fat, sugar and salt, overburdens the
Lymphatic system causing sluggish functioning.
This can result in -
tiredness,
premature aging,
puffiness and swollen joints (oedema),
cellulite,
spotty skin,
acne,
migraine,
hypertension, circulatory problems,
scarring,
broken facial
capillaries,
muscle tension,
rheumatic conditions,
lowered resistance to
illness,
and many other complaints.
Manual Lymph Drainage is excellent before and during pregnancy and before and after surgery. Manual Lymph Drainage can also reduce chronic pain as it allows the regenerative healing responses of the body to be stimulated.
It is recognised as the primary tool in treating Lymphoedema, which is a condition of localized fluid retention caused by a compromised lymphatic system. Lymphedema has been barely recognized as being a serious health problem; however, this is slowly changing due to education and awareness. The danger with lymphedema comes from the constant risk of developing an uncontrolled infection in the affected limb. Still, physicians and medical staff who practice in fields where this disease is uncommon may fail to correctly diagnose the condition due to the apparent lack of information regarding this disease.
Consultation and full body massage takes about one and a half
hours.
