Lymph Drainage Therapy

"Lymph Drainage" must be the most unpalatable term ever coined by massage practitioners. It sounds like some grim medieval torture involving hoses, pointy objects, and buckets full of icky goo.

But it isn't.

Lymph drainage is a gentle, effective technique useful in relieving pain and stiffness caused by swollen tissue.

What Lymph Drainage Can Do for You

Lymph Drainage Therapy redistributes excess body fluids. The other massage modalities I offer do improve circulation, but they are primarily used to treat muscles, scar tissue, tendons, and ligaments. We might use lymph drainage therapy to:

• Drain excess fluid from the space around your lungs to allow deeper breathing; if you suffer from asthma, you may wish to try it.
• Relieve puffiness around eyes, improve facial skin tone.
• Relieve swelling from excess fluid in limbs.
• Drain fluid from tissue in and around prostate, to reduce the number of nighttime bathroom trips and reduce "dribbling." This is not to be confused with milking the prostate, which should be done by your urologist.
• Relieve soreness in breasts and improve their shape and firmness.
• Help to remove cellular waste products and toxins from tender points for Fibromyalgia patients. Lymph Drainage Therapy is so gentle that FMS sufferers can easily tolerate the therapy.
• Detoxify your body after an illness.  Lymph Drainage can help flush our your leftover toxins, helping you to feel better faster.
• Reduce swelling after an injury without causing additional trauma to the injured tissue.
• Relieve chronic swelling due to surgical removal of lymph nodes.
• Improve energy levels and assist your immune system by flushing wastes and toxins.

Some people swear by lymph drainage for all your ills. Personally, I like to reserve it for specific problems. When working with internal organs lymph drainage can cause some discomfort, but for the most part it is a light, gentle, relaxing technique that fits the Tranquility Time style.
