Lymphatic Drainage Massage

The Lymphatic System is a part of the immune system, and the body's purification system that keeps a balance amongst the soft tissues performing their different functions.  Lymphatic Drainage Massage (LDM) is a gentle and slow whole body treatment which relaxes the nervous system and aids the body's immune system.  It involves a range of specialized and gentle rhythmic pumping techniques to move lymph flow through a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes.  This supports the body to naturally eliminate excess toxins, dead cells, viruses, bacteria and chemicals. The benefits of this massage are: relieving fluid congestion/retention, promoting wound healing, relieving stress and anxiety.  This method is gaining acceptance in the treatment and control of lymphoedema, and can be especially beneficial for patients recovering from breast cancer surgery.
