Lymphatic massage is a technique used
to help increase lymph flow. Increased lymph flow removes harmful substances
from the tissues and increases immune function.
People are looking increasingly to lymphatic massage to reduce the effects
of stress, relieve the effects of swelling, aid recovery from surgery, and
boost skin care regimens. Lymphatic massage can be useful in cases of
edema, sports injury, with people experiencing a sluggish immune system or
those suffering from a lack of energy. Many find this gentle, yet
powerful technique to be a key to improved health and well-being.
What is the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in your body’s ability heal from
injury and ward off disease. It is essential to the body's drainage system
for cleansing and filtering out toxins and bacteria.
Problems With The Lymphatic System
Aches, pains, soreness and flu like symptoms could all be caused by
congested lymph pathways.
The Benefits of Lymphatic Massage
Lymphatic massage can help to unblock the lymph system by manually cleansing
the lymph system in a clockwise fashion.
Performing lymphatic massage correctly can stimulate the opening of the
initial lymphatic and increase the volume of lymph flow by as much as 20
times.
Because lymph cleanses nearly every cell in your body the negative effects
of chronic lymph blockages include but are not limited to:
• Frequent cold and flu infections
• Joint pain
• Headache and migraine
• Menstrual cramps
• Arthritis
• Loss of appetite
• Fatigue
• Mood irregularities
• Depression
• Acne
• Cellulite
What is Lymphatic Massage?
The use of massage as a healing therapy dates back centuries. Lymphatic
massage was developed in the 1930s and is a delicate form of massage that
stimulates the body’s lymphatic system.
The lymphatic system has no central pump and depends on muscle contraction
through deep breathing, exercise and manual manipulation to move fluid.
Lymphatic massage utilizes a very light pressure combined with soft pumping
movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. Immune system function can be
significantly increased, improving metabolism and helping the body to
eliminate waste and toxins.
A strong immune system makes you feel balanced, happy and whole.
As with most massage, it is vital to drink lots of water after a lymphatic
massage to flush away toxins that have been released.
Lymphatic Massage – What can it be used for?
Lymphatic massage has been used for years to enhance the quality of the
skin.
• Lymphatic massage aids the increase of lymph flow. When the lymph is
flowing as it should, cells are bathed in fresh fluid making the skin look
fresh and alive.
Lymphatic massage is also useful for people with sports injuries.
• When applied after neuromuscular massage, lymphatic massage helps
to clear the tissue of debris and reduce the minor edema that can occur
after deep tissue massage.
• Repeated lymphatic massage while healing from a sports injury can help to
enhance the tissue regeneration process by keeping the tissue as healthy as
possible.
It is thought that lymphatic massage can also help the scarring process
by enhancing circulation and immunity.
• Increased lymph flow around the scar stimulates damaged lymph vessels to
heal.
• Increased lymph flow draws away toxins improving the health of the
tissues.
Another common use of lymph massage is with breast cancer .
• Women who have had axillary lymph nodes removed sometimes develop edema in
their arm. As long as there is only minor swelling, then a massage therapist
with a good knowledge of contraindication and some specific techniques can
do a great amount of good.
Lymphatic Massage – Is it Safe?
For the most part lymphatic massage is safe. However as with all massage
therapies there are some contra indications. For lymphatic massage
specifically, these include acute inflammation, malignant tumors, thrombosis
and major heart problems.
To get the best results from a lymphatic massage, seek out a suitably
trained and qualified therapist.
