Detox and Support Healing

Lymph Drainage Therapy

Do you want to:

  • Support recovery from sprains, strains and overworked muscles.
  • Reduce scarring and support healing after surgery or burns.
  • Naturally reduce sinus congestion.
  • Support your immune system.
  • Support your detoxing goals.
  • Reduce wrinkles.

Lymphatic drainage is a gentle hands-on technique designed to attain and sustain proper functioning of the lymph system of your body. The lymph system removes toxins from cells and helps to deliver nutrients to your cells. Lymph is clear fluid that bathes each cell and then is transported through the lymph system to the heart to be processed by the liver and kidneys. When the lymph system becomes sluggish; fluids, proteins and toxins can accumulate compromising cellular functioning. The lymph system does not have a heart like our circulatory system does to keep things moving. Lymph is circulated throughout or bodies by muscle movement. What is interesting about the lymph system is that the more the lymph moves, the more white blood cells are produced. Surgery, trauma, stress, extended sitting and infections can hinder the movement of the lymph system.  Since this is a detoxing massage, it is a good idea for you to follow the recommended water intake of eight 8oz glasses of water the day before and day of your appointment.

What can I expect at an appointment?
Manual Lymph Drainage is a very relaxing technique. A light touch is applied and your skin is “pulled” in the direction of the lymph flow for that area. You will be asked to wear gym shorts, sports bra or bathing suit. The areas that will receive extra lymph drainage are where the lymph nodes are; neck, under your arms, stomach, crease where legs meet the body and under knees.
