Lymphatic massage is a gentle stretching touch to the body that helps to speed up the movement of lymph and intersitial fluid. The lymphatic system is sometimes referred to as our river of health. It's function is to clear out toxins, waste products and debri from the tissue which helps prevent disease and produce healthy immune cells to fight infections, inflammation and injury.
Unbeknownst to most of us, we live with a very sluggish, thick lymphatic flow and clogged lymph nodes. We all can benefit from routine lymphatic drainage massage to free up the flow of lymph, optimize our immune system, and reduce the toxic build up in our tissues that lead to plague build-up, inflammation, and disease.
Lymphatic massage has been very beneficial before and after surgery. By cleaning the intersitial space up and increasing the motoricity of the lymphatic vessels the outcomes of surgery have improved.
