What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Manual Lymph Drainage is used to stimulate lymphatic vessels and improve the function of the lymphatic system. It is a gentle and rhythmic massage technique using precise movements to encourage lymph flow and drainage and support the immune system. May incorporate diaphramatic breathing techniques.
Manual lymph drainage involves circular, rotary and scoop like strokes in specific patterns that follow lymphatic pathways. The goals are to decrease swelling, inflammation, discomfort and increase relaxation. **Some conditions require your physician’s consent.
