Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a very effective way to move excess lymph fluid from affected tissues in congested areas back into circulation via the lymph nodes.

The benefits for Lymphoedema patients are:

• Swollen areas are decongested,
• Hardened tissues are softened, and
• Lymph nodes in healthy regions of the body are cleared repeatedly to receive excess fluid from the oedema-affected areas.

Lymphatic Drainage is often referred to as massage. However it is very different to remedial massage or the type of massage you may receive from a beauty therapist.

The specialised technique uses very light, repetitive and slow movements. Manual Lymphatic Drainage should never be painful. In fact most women say it is very soothing.
