Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a form of very gentle massage and light touch that restores the flow of lymphatic fluids.
This allows for the movement of stagnant lymph fluid which contains cellular toxins, keeping tissues and organs healthy and full of vitality.
What is Lymph Drainage Therapy?
The Lymphatic System removes the waste products from cells, transporting them into the circulatory system, then to the liver and kidneys.
It is an essential part of the immune system.
When the environment around your cells is clean, they are healthier. If stagnant lymph lingers around your cells, then diseases and aging are more likely. Surgery, trauma, burns, chemotherapy, radiation, significant swelling, stress lymph can impede the function of the lymphatic system
​
Lymph Drainage Therapy is a hands-on method used to improve and maintain proper functioning of the lymphatic system.
Lymph Drainage Therapy was developed by Bruno Chikly, MD, DO. It is the first technique that enables practitioners to detect and palpate the specific rhythm, direction, depth, and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body.
​​
Practitioners use their hands to assess and enhance overall circulation and determine the best alternate pathways for draining stagnant body fluid (lymph, interstitial, synovial fluid, etc).
They work with flat hands and using all the fingers to simulate gentle, specific wave-like movements. These subtle manual maneuvers activate lymph and interstitial fluid circulation as well as stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems.
