What does lymphatic drainage do?
Lymphatic massage relieves swelling that happens when medical treatment or illness blocks your lymphatic system.
Lymphatic drainage massage involves gently manipulating specific areas of your body to help lymph move to an area with working lymph vessels. For example, when someone has sprained an ankle, you’ve seen it swell up, this is lymph fluid and to start of with the swelling helps to immobilise the joint reducing the chances of further injury. After a while it is good to get the joint moving again, this can be done with massage and exercise.
