Lymphatic Drainage Massage Therapy
A lymphatic drainage massage is a specialized therapeutic technique designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for maintaining fluid balance, immune function, and removing toxins from the body.
A treatment typically involves gentle, rhythmic movements with light pressure to encourage the natural flow of lymphatic fluid. Therapists use specific strokes and sequences to follow the direction of lymph flow in the body.
