Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the drainage of lymph nodes and movement of lymph fluids around the body.

The method is a specialized range of gentle rhythmic techniques which are applied directly on to the skin in the direction of the lymph flow. This stimulates the lymphatic vessels, vital to the body’s defense and waste disposal system.

For post operation patients, the treatment stimulates and increases the rate of removal of waste products, toxins and excess fluid from the body’s tissues. It also increases the exchange of oxygen and other nutrients in the body’s cells, improving the overall function of the body and ensures that patients get the best results from their procedure and see the results as quickly as possible.
