What is Lymphatic Drainage?

 

A lymphatic drainage massage or manual lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle rhythmic motions to increase lymphatic flow and relieve swelling and fibrosis after serious injury, medical treatment, or illness all while entering you into deep relaxation.

What Does Your Lymphatic System Do? 

 

Typically, the lymphatic system collects fluid called lymph and cellular waste through your lymph vessels and lymph nodes. It then recycles or disposes of it. If injury, surgery, or anything that may disrupt the lymphatic process occurs, it can cause fluid to collect in your limbs and body, causing them to swell. ​
