A person is a fluid process, not a fixed and static entity; a flowing river of change, not a block of solid material."

Lymphatic Drainage & Modalities

Lymphatic Drainage is a modality of massage that manages oedema (swelling) and lymphoedema (swelling due to a dysfunction within the lymph system).

As the lymphatic system has no direct 'pump' (like the heart is a pump to blood), fluid build up can occur for various reasons, such as:

Post Operative Effects

Injury

Poor Circulation

Fluid Retention (for example hormonal)

Conditions leading to swelling such as heart issues.

By using Lymphatic Drainage Techniques and other modalities such as Essential Oils & Kineotaping benefits include:

Improved Lymphatic Function: In concerns with poor circulation and general oedema, function of the lymph system improves with treatment and after care.

Faster, more efficient recovery from surgery or injury: As the lymph system is stimulated through Lymphatic Drainage Modalities, it helps remove by products from the healing process to aid in faster recovery, improved circulation and overall improvement in soft tissue healing and function.

Greater Mobility: Swelling and Oedema can immobilise certain areas of the body, causing limited range of motion and mobility. By lessening swelling with certain areas, it can lead to better joint mobility.

Reduction in swelling: Lymph Drainage techniques can lead to an overall reduction in swelling. In concerns with water retention, this can improve overall appearance and function to water retention and bloating caused by water retention.
