LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE

WHY CHOOSE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE?

One of my favourite therapies is Lymphatic Drainage given the phenomenal results with reducing inflammation, relief to migraines and sinus congestion both of which I suffered with.

Part of the effectiveness of manual Lymphatic drainage is that 70% of the lymph vessels are located in the superficial layers of the skin allowing me to stimulate each of the lymphatic areas in the body (neck, under your arms, tummy, groin and knee) by as much as 20 times.

Your lymphatic system doesn’t have a dedicated organ, such as the heart, to keep lymph flowing. Instead, it is dependent on stimulation from external forces including exercise, breathing, and massage."

HERE ARE SOME WAYS TO INCREASE LYMPH FLOW IN YOUR BODY:

from Dr Christine Northrup

Breathe deeply and regularly. Breathing fully in through your nose and inhaling air down into the lower lobes of your lungs followed by a brisk exhalation massages the thoracic duct and all the lymph vessels and nodes in your chest cavity.
Exercise Regularly. Lymph flow depends upon the muscles in the body to move it along. Every time you walk, do yoga, breathe deeply, run, or move your muscles briskly, you are helping move the lymph along.
Drink water. Circulation is vital to all of your body’s functions. Drink water to stay hydrated.

Dry Brush Your Skin helps to stimulate your lymphatic system to remove toxins. It’s an easy but a powerful addition to your daily routine.
Try Rebounding or jumping up and down on a mini trampoline, improves lymphatic circulation because, in addition to it being low-impact exercise, the up-and-down motion causes your lymphs one-way valves to open and close.
Get a Massage. Massage stimulates the blood and lymph vessels by applying pressure to the body, helping to move fluid along and reducing inflammation.
