Lymphatic Drainage Massage at Soul & Body Center

What is lymphatic drainage massage, and what are its benefits?

Lymphatic drainage massage is one of the youngest practices among those established thousands of years ago. Unlike classical massages, lymphatic drainage massage has been around for only 70 years. This technique originated in France, where in the mid-20th century, Dr. Pascal Koch discovered that swelling subsides much faster when massaging areas along the lymphatic flow.

Why should you try lymphatic drainage massage?

Currently, lymphatic drainage is a popular procedure conducted in both medical facilities and cosmetic clinics.

What is lymphatic drainage massage?

Lymphatic drainage massage is one of the types of physiotherapy procedures aimed at improving the function of the lymphatic system. As a result, cells are freed from toxins, and individuals feel better, while excess volumes diminish. Recorded cases show a reduction of several centimeters in a woman’s thighs after the procedure, indicating the benefits of lymphatic drainage massage for weight loss.

What are the benefits of this type of massage?

It is well known that the heart is responsible for pumping blood throughout our body. However, the lymphatic system lacks such a “pump.” Therefore, due to hypodynamia, stress, and unbalanced nutrition, lymphostasis, or lymph congestion, may occur. This leads to poor cleansing of the intercellular fluid, overload of the kidneys, liver, and circulatory system. Toxins remain in the body, leading to:

– cellulite;
– swelling;
– hypertension;
– obesity;
– poor skin color;
– decreased immunity.

Deep lymphatic drainage massage is intended to address these issues.

How many sessions are needed?

About 10 sessions, and the swelling will subside, facial and body contours will become clearer, and health will improve. Doctors recommend repeating the courses once every six months. In this case, the effectiveness of the procedure is maximum.

Indications for lymphatic drainage include:

– obesity;
– cellulite;
– varicose veins (without thrombophlebitis);
– postpartum and postoperative scars;
– swollen face;
– metabolic disorders.

All these ailments lead to lymph congestion, and external assistance is needed to ensure its circulation at normal speed and quality.

Contraindications for lymphatic drainage massage?

Before meeting directly with a massage therapist, it is necessary to consult a doctor who should determine the presence of pathologies that prevent undergoing a course of lymphatic drainage. It is prohibited to perform massage in cases of:

– pregnancy and lactation;
– skin rashes;
– thrombophlebitis;
– exacerbations of chronic diseases;
– kidney and liver diseases;
– psoriasis, eczema, neurodermatitis;
– malignant formations.

You cannot go for lymphatic drainage massage without a doctor’s referral.

– Process-therapeutic: involves massaging specific areas with compressed air. Thanks to the impact, fat and cellulite significantly decrease in volume.
