Lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic massage involves gently manipulating specific parts of your body to move excess accumulated fluid away from your tissues toward active lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, allowing your body to eliminate toxins effectively.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle form of massage used to reduce swelling associated with lymphedema. Lymphedema is a common side effect of many health conditions and is particularly prevalent among individuals recovering from cancer treatments, especially breast cancer surgery, as several lymph nodes are often removed during the procedure.

The lymphatic system collects lymph and returns it to the heart through a network of vessels and nodes. When this process is disrupted, lymph accumulates in the arms, legs, ankles, or other body areas, causing swelling. A physiotherapist uses lymphatic drainage techniques to move lymph from the tissues to the lymph nodes, reducing swelling.

How do you know if you need lymphatic drainage?

Lymphatic drainage massage can help if your lymphatic system is not functioning properly. The first step is consulting with specialists who will guide you toward the ideal treatment for your condition.

Potential symptoms of a clogged lymphatic system may include:

  • bloating
  • brain fog
  • chronic sinus infections
  • fatigue
  • headaches
  • puffy, swollen ankles or hands
  • skin conditions such as acne, dryness, or rashes
  • swollen lymph nodes in the neck

Manual lymphatic drainage 

This method is primarily used to treat lymphedema related to health conditions such as:

  • chronic venous insufficiency
  • fibromyalgia
  • injury
  • lipedema
  • rheumatoid arthritis
  • lymphedema relief after breast cancer surgery

Lymphatic massage can reduce swelling and help the lymph nodes eliminate toxins. The benefits of lymphatic drainage massage may include immune system support, reduced fluid retention, relief from neuropathy, stress reduction, and healthier-looking skin.
