Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage was developed by Danish physician Emil Vodder in the 1930s. He developed a very therapeutic method of massage which uses very light techniques which stimulated lymph movement. Within all of us is a silent system which works to keep us healthy. This is our Lymphatic system. The Lymphatic System plays an integral role in the immune functions of the body as it is the first line of defence against disease. This intriguing system collects protein rich fluid in the extra cellular spaces and returns it to the circulatory system, which also eliminates wastes from the body tissue.
Lymphatic Drainage stimulates the contraction of lymph vessels helping to move lymph forward, which activates fluid circulation and stimulates functioning of the immune system. Lymphatic Drainage can restore proper lymph flow on a sluggish system which also helps the autonomic nervous system, reduce stress, improve sleep patterns, increase sustainability to colds and flu and increase energy levels.
Lymphoedema which is a condition where there is an accumulation of Lymphatic fluid in the tissues which causes excessive swelling is greatly improved and managed by Lymphatic Drainage. Lymphoedema is caused by either an event causing blockages i.e. surgery, radiation, trauma or it may also be an inherited condition.
Lymphatic Drainage is perfect for helping to maintain health and improve vitality. Lymphatic Drainage benefits such conditions as burns, scars, Lymphoedema, lipedema, oedema, swelling, chronic fatigue and detoxing.
