Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle rhythmic European massage technique developed in the 1930’s by Dr. Emil Vodder, a Danish physiotherapist and his wife Estrid. Manual lymph Drainage has been researched over the past 70 years and its physiological benefits are well documented.

Manual Lymph Drainage is a precise technique designed to accelerate the normal functioning of the Lymphatic System. Therapeutic application of Manual Lymph Drainage cleanses the connective tissue of inflammatory materials and toxins, enhances the activity of the immune system, reduces pain and lowers the activity of the sympathetic nervous system. It thereby facilitates healing of injuries, surgical trauma, chronic conditions, inflammation and edema.

Aromatherapy oils can be added to enhance the effect of the massage.

Benefits of Lymph Drainage:

• Relieves heaviness, tightness, swelling and pain
• Increases overall relaxation by decreasing stress levels
• Relieves retention of fluids during pregnancy
• Decreases local edema from surgery leading to speeded healing time and decrease of inflammation, swelling and pain.
