Description
Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle manual technique that stimulates a fatigued or stressed lymphatic system. Keeping the lymphatic system in good condition is imperative for promoting good health and immune function, and for restoring good health when the system has been compromised, for example after surgery. The lymphatic system contains vessels, nodes and glands with lymph, a mixture of proteins, water, waste products, and immune system elements. Lymph vessels lay just below the surface of the skin collecting and filtering cellular waste and debris. When stressed, the fluid stagnates in areas of the body causing swelling and fatigue.
Lymphatic draining massage helps move stagnant lymph fluid supporting the body to drain excess lymph through the correct channels and helps to stimulate and restore the natural flow of lymph in the body.

Elizabeth Allan –
Started having drainage massages to support a recent diagnosis on lymphoedema. I cannot get over the difference in my pain levels. My body image has also improved greatly!
It is worth every penny.
