Manual Lymphatic Drainage
What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic Drainage is a specialized, highly subtle and technical therapy aimed at the deep detoxification of the body. It consists of rhythmic, slow and extremely gentle pumping and dragging movements that follow the channels of the lymphatic system. Since no strong pressure is applied to the muscles, it is a pleasant and safe treatment, enhanced with light local gels or oils that facilitate stimulation without irritating the skin.
This therapy is more than a simple massage: it is a clinical and holistic wellness procedure that assists your body’s natural defenses, eliminating what it no longer needs and restoring your sense of lightness.
Areas of focus: Face-up (primarily): Face, neck, axillary lymph nodes, arms, abdomen, inguinal lymph nodes and legs. Face-down: Back and back of the legs (focused on the lymph node chains).
