Manual Lymphatic Drainage

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Lymphatic drainage is a light, rhythmical technique designed to ease congestion in the lymphatic system. Lymphatic vessels remove waste products and carry substances vital to the defence of the body. Lymphatic drainage is both preventative and remedial and can enhance overall well-being. The Lymphatic system is our front line of defence in fighting bodily infections, detoxifying the body and transporting metabolic wastes, excess water, bacteria and toxins out of the body. The Lymph glands (at neck, armpits, groin, etc.) are connected by a broad network of vessels which transport the fluid. Muscular movement is required to move it, as there is no “Heart” to pump it. The goal of manual lymph drainage and complete decongestive therapy is to improve or restore lymph drainage that has become impaired. A body massage and anatomy course must have been completed prior to this course.
