Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Offered as part of the therapeutic massage, this is a superficial and gentle type of massage.

The purpose of the massage is to re-establish the natural flow of lymph through the body. Somtimes, for this massage to have an effect, particular lymph nodes may need to be massaged, including those in the groin area, which may cause this massage to feel more intimate. In this case I will explain my intentions before proceeding.

Benefits:

• Re-establishes the natural flow of blood and lymph throughout the body

• Improves the immune system

• Reduces fluid retention and swelling

• May help reduce hay fever and allergies

Lymphatic drainage is recommended to anyone at least once a year.

This massage can be recommended before or after surgical procedures as it can boost the immune system. If you have such a procedure planned, you may want to discuss with your doctor whether you should have a manual lymphatic drainage before or after the procedure.
