Lymphatic Drainage Massage
The lymphatic system aids in eliminating waste from your body. This system sometimes clogs or becomes sluggish, particularly after surgery or injury. When this happens, swelling often occurs. This swelling can be accompanied by pain which often times radiates through the lower limbs.
The Expert PhysioActive Approach
The goal of lymphatic drainage massage is to encourage your lymphatic system to drain more efficiently and quickly, thus reducing both swelling and pain. This is achieved at PhysioActive by specialised techniques performed by our trained and experienced massage therapists.
Lymphatic drainage massage is not an especially deep massage. It focuses on the lymph nodes. While you have lymph nodes throughout your body, they are clustered in certain areas – like under the arms and in the neck.
Additionally, any oedema – or swelling – will need to be addressed. If you have swelling in a limb, your massage therapist will likely do extensive work on this area to promote lymph drainage.
