Very gentle touch facilitates healing, reduces swelling, speeds recovery from surgery (e.g. joint replacement, breast surgery, c-section, liposuction), promotes relaxation, eases headaches and sinus pressure, and facilitates concussion recovery.
That seems too good to be true... but... it works because the lymph system is your body's water reclamation and transportation system. Every cell in your body produces metabolic waste as it does its work. That waste goes into the lymph system, which transports it back into the blood stream to be taken to the kidneys, and filtered. When that system gets clogged, there is nowhere for the new waste to go. it pools in your tissues and you get swelling (edema). It also accumulates, creating an unhealthy environment for your cells to do their jobs. Depending on the area of obstruction, you can experience a myriad of symptoms. Removing the obstruction allows for better lymph movement, and better outcomes.
Unfortunately, the longer lymph sits where it should be flowing, the more severe the challenges. But even where lamp has been stagnant for years, Manual Lymph Drainage can improve the flow. Like most things, the longer it's been there, the more sessions it is likely to take to fully clear the issue.
Similarly, if we clear the symptom but don't address the cause, MLD can only offer temporary relief. But for many many issues, a course of MLD can resolve the problem completely.
You'll be lying on a massage table, where you'll receive light, gentle touch to your skin. While it's possible to do this through clothes, it's much easier with actual skin contact.
Please wear/bring shorts and a sleeveless shirt.
