Manual Lymphatic Drainage

The lymphatic system is our body’s sewerage system. It is part of the immune system and helps to protect us from infections and disease. The lymph carries away any waste products.

Lymphatic vessels are found throughout the body and run parallel with the capillary system. The vessels are as small in diameter as the capillaries and the lymph nodes are about the size of a pea. 

If the vessels become congested or damaged, fluids and toxins can build up in the connective tissue and cell pathology can begin. Cellular oxygenation and nourishment is reduced, as is waste elimination. Toxins eventually penetrate the cells and create the symptoms of chronic disease. The lymph transports cellular waste products to the lymph nodes where it is processed
So lymph drainage can enhance recovery rates by moving out toxins and wastes, boosting immunity and oxygenation and reducing inflammation.

Some of the conditions that can benefit from Lymphatic Drainage include:
