Lymphatic massage is a technique that uses a lighter touch to reduce edema or swelling of tissues related to illness, injury or cancer treatments. Some of the conditions it is beneficial for are: post-cancer treatments and post-surgical rehabilitation. Headaches and arthritis pain can be reduced as well using this technique.
Lymphatic massage will help your body stave off the blues of winter illness. One or two lymphatic sessions will help recharge your immune system which will better protect you from colds and flu. Lymphatic massage is a gentle relaxing form of massage that helps the body's lymphatic system get moving again while reinforcing immune function.
Lymphatic massage is a good treatment for edema (swelling), a recent injury like an ankle sprain, or inflammation such as tendonitis. It can be very helpful with sinus conditions or a general sense of congestion. Lymphatic massage helps to reduce scar tissue and will stimulate circulation and production of white blood cells.
