Lymphatic Treatments

 

- Lymphatic drainage -

Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a particularly light and gentle form of bodywork designed to decongest and enhance the flow of the body’s lymphatic fluid through to an area where it can be cleansed, returned to the heart and removed from the body.

The lymphatic system is the body’s purification system that keeps the balance amongst the soft tissue, performing different functions:

  • Participating in the body’s immune response by filtering the lymphatic fluid

  • Removing the excess fluid and metabolic debris form the intersititium

  • Retuning proteins too big to be re-absorbed by circulatory system

  • Transporting the dietary lipids from the digestive system

    Lymphatic Drainage massage in beneficial for condition such as:

  • Post traumatic condition like sporting injuries, draining of bruising in fractures areas, contusions or concussions

  • After training or any physical event by draining the lactic acid via the lymph vessels

  • Tendonitis: help to remove oedema where the volume hampers movement

  • Arthritis and degenerative joint diseases

  • Stress: the reflex stimulus to this massage is one of wellbeing as a result of the stimulation of the parasympathetic system
