Lymphatic massage

Lymphatic Massage (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) Lymphatic massage is a gentle, rhythmic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, helping to remove toxins and excess fluids from the body. Unlike classic massage, it uses light strokes that follow the natural direction of lymph flow. Each session begins with the release of key lymph nodes (neck, groin, underarms) and continues across the entire body or a specific area (such as the face or legs). This massage is painless, performed without oils (often using powder), and emphasizes slow, repetitive movements combined with proper hydration for effective detoxification and swelling reduction. How It Works: Initial Step: The therapist gently releases lymph nodes in the neck, underarms, and groin to ensure proper drainage. Techniques: Light, slow, and rhythmic strokes (spiral and pumping motions) stimulate lymphatic vessels. Direction: Movements always follow the natural lymph flow toward the nodes. Pressure: Very gentle and non-invasive, working on the skin rather than deep muscles. Scope: Can be a full-body treatment (head, face, neck, torso, arms, legs) or focused on specific areas like legs or face. Additional Care: Adequate water intake and lifestyle adjustments enhance detoxification results. Key Differences from Classic Massage: Gentleness: Works on the skin and lymphatic system, not muscles. Pace: Slower and more rhythmic than traditional massage. Goal: Activates lymph drainage and waste removal rather than muscle circulation. Benefits: Detoxifies the body and strengthens immunity. Reduces swelling (e.g., post-surgery, in legs) and helps fight cellulite. Improves blood circulation and metabolism. Supports recovery from fatigue, migraines, and injuries.
