Swelling of a body part due to reduced lymphatic circulation.  Often the result of cancer treatment or genetics.  Lymphatic drainage helps reroute lymphatic flow around areas of blockage and stimulates reflexive action of the vessels.

In someone with lipedema, the lymphatics may not effectively drain enlarged areas of fatty tissue and fluid accumulates.  This leads to progressive swelling and discomfort.  Lymphatic drainage can help to improve circulation thereby reducing heaviness, tightness, and pain

Many surgeons recommend lymphatic massage after certain cosmetic procedures such as liposuction to decrease recovery time by minimizing swelling and scar formation.  Benefits include reduced swelling, reduced pain, improved surgical results, detoxification, and relaxation.

The lymphatic system is an elimination system that removes cellular waste from the body.  Manual lymphatic drainage decongests lymphatic pathways and enhances immune function while helping to remove toxins. By stimulating lymph flow and promoting relaxation, manual lymphatic drainage can help improve overall health and well-being.

Poor circulation often results in swelling, hardening, discomfort, and skin changes in the lower legs.  Lymphatic drainage combined with fibrosis massage helps to reduce swelling, soften tissues, and improve blood flow.

Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome characterized by widespread muscular pain and trigger point pain.  Lymphatic drainage stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to reduce stress and promote relaxation.  This effect can help ease pain by modulating how pain signals are processed in the brain.

Light, skin-stretching massage that helps promote the movement of protein-rich fluid away from an areas of congestion 

Helps loosen, soften, and lengthen scar tissue caused by surgery or trauma that is causing discomfort and movement restriction

Moderate depth manual treatment to move areas of lymph fluid congestion and scar tissue formation that have created hardening and/or thickening of  the skin and underlying tissues

Use of suction to improve pain, inflammation, circulation, relaxation, and muscle spasm/cramping

Use of sustained pressure, posture and movement correction, and massage to release tense, painful knots in the muscles and fascia

Smooth, gentle treatment that relieves muscle tension, improves circulation and promotes a general sense of relaxation to body and mind
