LYMPHATIC MASSAGE

Lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized  massage technique for the purpose of reducing swelling in the body and increasing the flow of lymph.  Lymph is the fluid that seeps out of the cells and must be returned to the bloodstream.  The lymphatiac system is an integral part of the immune system, so in stimlating the flow of lymph you are also stimulating the immune system leading to better overall health. 

Lymphatic drainage massage uses very light pressure of the fingers and hands.  The pattern of strokes in lymphatic drainage massage is very small and precise, moving very slowly and rhythmically, repeating over and over,  Because of this, lymphatic drainage massage is very relaxing and therefore excellent for reducing the effects of stress and tension.  Clinical studies have proven that lymphatic drainage massage is extremely beneficial for cancer patients.  Other benefits include:
