The main techniques used during a lymphatic drainage massage are kneading, friction and movement- along with certain tools such as towels or sponges used to apply pressure to certain parts of the body. If a client has cold or clammy skin, ice applied to these areas encourages greater circulation; alternatively, warm compresses stimulate blood flow more efficiently than cold ones do. The therapist will also use aromatherapy or positive thinking to promote deeper relaxation during his session.   A lymphatic drainage massage encourages us to keep our bodies healthy by encouraging proper waste removal and increased blood circulation throughout our bodies. It also promotes relaxation by focusing on specific problem areas and promoting mental well-being through positive thinking or meditation by application of stress-relieving mechanisms such as hydrotherapy or cold applications on problem areas such as shoulders, neck or back areas.   When you stand up from the massage table, you will feel noticeable relief, especially if you have swelling in your arms or legs. You will find that you feel 50% better and then 90% better after the massage. You may also feel incredibly rejuvenated, even days after your session is over.   Massage for lymphatic drainage massage reduces swelling caused by illnesses or medical procedures that interfere with your lymphatic system. Gently stroking particular body parts during a lymphatic drainage massage encourages lymph to travel to an area with functioning lymph veins. For consultation and therapy, visit us today at Dr. Rahi.
