Spotlight on Lymphatic Drainage Massage!!
After a review from one of my regular clients who has endometriosis, I thought it was an opportunity to highlight its benefits.
A lymphatic drainage massage is a powerful massage for a number of reasons:.
* to reduce fluid retention
* post surgery to reduce swelling
* Caesarean (post) to reduce swelling particularly in the thighs
* Pain relief
The lymphatic system is our bodies inbuilt waste disposal unit. It is part of the circulatory and immune system.
Its function is to detoxify our bodies by removing the waste and producing immunity.
It is performed proximal to distal (away from the heart)
Performed supine (on your back) only
A very light repetitive touch to encourage the fluid out of the cells
What to expect after a lymphatic drainage massage:
* Immediate relief from swelling and discomfort.
* A need to urinate more frequently, as the body is processing and eliminating increased lymph fluid.
* A feeling of relaxation and lightness
If you have never experienced a lymphatic drainage massage do yourself a favour and trial one.....
