What is a Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage?
The type of massage described is known as lymphatic drainage massage. This gentle massage technique utilizes long, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the movement of lymph fluid, directing toxins towards organs that can efficiently eliminate them. By encouraging the flow of stagnant fluid back into the body's natural lymphatic system, it promotes detoxification and supports overall health..
Here are some signs that lymphatic fluid is not moving effectively, and toxins are building up:
Bloating, swelling, brain fog, digestive issues, parasites, depression, sinus infections, skin problems/dry or itchy, enlarge lymph nodes, fatigue, insomnia, stress and digestive problems.
How can Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage help after Cosmetic Surgery?
Manual Drainage Massage is frequently recommended by plastic surgeons during the recovery phase following cosmetic liposuction. It assists with decreased recovery time, reduces post-surgical swelling and fibrosis (scar tissue formation). I recommend one treatment before surgery. After surgery, 4-6 sessions are needed based on the type of surgery you had, number of areas treated and how the body is recovering. Every client is different. Please consult with your doctor first.
Why is it important to drain lymph nodes:
The lymphatic system is a crucial component of your immune system, responsible for transporting white blood cells that help prevent infections. It comprises hundreds of lymph nodes that filter and drain lymph fluid, which carries waste products and toxins. This fluid is then transported back into your bloodstream, aiding in waste removal and maintaining overall health.
Duration of a lymphatic drainage massage:
Lymphatic massage sessions typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the condition being treated. For your initial treatment, I recommend a 60-minute session to effectively stimulate your lymphatic flow. This duration allows sufficient time to address key areas and promote optimal lymphatic drainage.
