LYMPHATIC MASSAGE

WHAT IS A LYMPHATIC MASSAGE?

Lymphatic drainage is  the natural function of the lymphatic system -  a  network of tubes throughout the body that drains fluid (called lymph) from tissues and empties it back into the bloodstream - and  an essential part of immunity. If this function is not  working properly, it can cause serious health problems.   ​

How does it work?

​The lymphatic system runs very close to the surface of the skin  so  lymphatic drainage   is gentle, painless and relaxing. Our therapists use a  combination of several types of feathery movements that are soothing yet effective.   The lymphatic system  also supports the immune system,  so it acts directly on the central nervous system by releasing endorphins, substances that generate deep relaxation and pain relief.

What are the benefits?

Lymphatic drainage massage helps to:

• Reduce pain, swelling and inflammation
• Improve healing and prevent subcutaneous fibrosis
• Prevent capsular contracture in breast augmentation
• Accelerate the disappearance of bruising
• Assist healthy scar formation
• Decrease patient's recovery  time
• Improve body shape and contour

when is the best time to get a lymphatic massage?

There is no such thing as a best time. You can get a lymphatic drainage massage at any point. However it is recommended to do one pre and post surgery. It will help with your recovery and healing process.
