LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
Lymphatic massage, also known as lymphatic drainage or manual lymph drainage,
originally was developed in Germany to treat lymphedema, an accumulation of fluid that
can occur following breast cancer surgery. In addition to serving as an effective
treatment for your immune system following chemotherapy and radiation, lymphatic
massage also is helpful after knee or hip surgery, plastic surgery and a wide range of
other issues.
Your lymphatic system must function properly to drain stagnant fluids, regenerate
tissues, eliminate toxins and foreign substances and help you maintain a healthy
immune system. Sometimes, however, your lymph vessels struggle to do their job of
carrying proteins, toxins, hormones and fatty acids to your lymph nodes, which filter out
harmful substances and waste that your body doesn’t want or need. They also contain
immune cells – lymphocytes – whose job is to destroy cancer cells and bacteria.
In addition to surgery, lymphatic system problems can be caused trauma, burns,
infections, swelling, fatigue, stress or age.
Lymphatic drainage therapy is a noninvasive treatment that gently pushes excess fluid,
toxins and other harmful substances toward your lymph nodes, which, because they
produce white blood cells, are a critically important part of your immune system.
