What Is Manual Lymphatic Drainage/Massage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a type of gentle massage which is intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph from the spaces between the cells in the tissues of the body. The lymph system depends on intrinsic contractions of the smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymph vessels (peristalsis) and the movement of skeletal muscles to propel lymph through the vessels to lymph nodes and then beyond the lymph nodes to the lymph ducts which return lymph to the cardiovascular system. Lymphatic Drainage Massage uses a specific amount of pressure (less than 9 ounces per square inch) and rhythmic circular movements to stimulate lymph flow.
