Manual lymph drainage: Gently cleanses body of toxins

Manual lymph drainage involves the therapist massaging the tissue around your lymph nodes using light pressure.

Gentle circular, rotary and pumping movements stimulate the lymphatic system, which alongside the blood circulatory system is the most important transport system in the body.

This improves the circulation of nutrients in your body and allows waste products, such as pathogenic germs or bacteria, to be identified and disposed of.

Application of manual lymph drainage

Manual lymph drainage serves as a decongestive therapy and a method to reduce oedema in the case of swelling in the body’s tissue caused by fluid retention. By literally getting your lymphatic system ‘moving’, your self-healing powers are activated and the autonomic nervous system is stimulated. Manual lymph drainage can provide relief for the following ailments:

Lymphoedema and phleboedema (frequently in legs)
Migraine
Whiplash
Injury-related swelling
Oedema following lymph node removal (e.g. due to breast cancer)
Oedema on arms, legs or torso
Post-operative scarring
Burnout syndrome

Objectives of manual lymph drainage

Manual lymph drainage can relieve pain and help to drain, purify and detoxify the body, allowing swelling to decrease. Thanks to the slow, gentle movements, your nervous system is calmed and your body and mind relax.
