Lymphatic drainage massage in a nutshell...
Lymphatic drainage massage is maybe not the oldest but one of the most bodily effective massages out there. In this blog I want to discuss it's origin, benefits and more...
It is believed that this method started in the 1930's by Danish doctors trying to treat patients with chronic & immune diseases and whilst observing these patients they came across that the patient's lymph nodes were swollen and remember then nothing or not much was known of the lymphatic system. They then started to develop massage like movements to get improvements. Amazing!
Think of our lymphatic system as our plumbing. Where all our waste goes and just like normal plumbing there are things to help the waste get removed and drained correctly. So with these specific movements and methods we help our lymph system detox and get rid of any built up waste or blocked nodes.
The benefits are endless! Here are just a few:
- Stimulation of Lymphatic System: The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in maintaining the body's immune response and fluid balance. Post-operative lymphatic drainage massage stimulates the flow of lymphatic fluid, aiding in the removal of toxins, waste products, and excess fluids from the surgical area.
- Reduction of Swelling (Edema): Surgery can often lead to localized swelling or edema. Lymphatic drainage massage helps reduce this swelling by encouraging the removal of excess fluids, which can contribute to a faster recovery and improved comfort.
- Promotion of Healing: The increased circulation and lymphatic flow facilitated by the massage can contribute to a more efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the healing tissues. This, in turn, can promote tissue repair and regeneration.
- Pain Relief: Post-operative lymphatic drainage massage can help alleviate discomfort by reducing pressure on sensitive nerves and improving blood circulation, which aids in the natural healing process.
- Scar Tissue Management: The massage techniques employed can assist in preventing the formation of excessive scar tissue and promoting a more even healing process. By improving blood flow to the area, the massage may also aid in reducing scar visibility over time.
- Immune System Support: A properly functioning lymphatic system is closely linked to the immune system's effectiveness. By enhancing lymphatic circulation, post-op lymphatic drainage massage can help boost the body's ability to fight off infections.
- Relaxation and Stress Relief: The gentle and soothing nature of the massage can provide psychological comfort and relaxation, which can contribute to an improved overall recovery experience.
And there are plenty more to benefit from. All these above can benefit from pre- to post- surgery, young & old. So with that said this therapy is something to treat yourself with! To give your body a detox that it didn't know it needed!
