Lymphatic Massage near you

The lymph system helps fight infection and is a core part of the body’s immune system. It carries oxygen and nutrients to cells and relies of the blood vessels and muscles to push the lymphatic fluid around in the body. This therapeutic massage uses light pressure and gentle strokes to help increase the flow of lymph in you body while removing the toxins. Lymphatic drainage massages help your body fight off infections, reduces water tension and boosts weight lost. They typically take around one hour.  What to expect during a lymphatic massage? Warmth increased lymphatic flow. These massages are conducted in heated rooms to aid this process. The therapist will use different massage techniques, working their way up from her feet to head, in the direction of the lymph nodes (neck, armpits and groin). Your therapist will use gentle, rhythmic strokes as well as soft pumping movements to help stimulate the lymphatic flush. Although you’ll be completely undressed, you will be covered in towels where you’re not being massaged.  How to get the best lymphatic massage? As with any other massage, lymphatic drainage massages can leave you hydrated and essentially uncomfortable during your treatment.

Lymphatic draining can exhaust you, so give your body a moment to ease back into life.  How long does it take for lymphatic massage to work? The lymph drainage cycle differs between people.
