Manual Lymphatic Drainage Edmonton

How Can Manual Lymphatic Drainage Treat My Condition?

Manuel lymphatic drainage is a unique massage technique that requires skin-stretching and gentle movements using both hands-on affected areas. These movement helps push the lymphatic fluid along the direction of the lymph flow to areas that are properly drained. This procedure is referred to as decongesting.

When manual lymphatic drainage is performed, your therapist will start from the non-swollen region of the body in order to free well-functioning lymph collectors, promote a suction effect, and improve lymph flow. They will carry on with this technique to drive the fluid around the swollen region to the open lymph collectors.

Due to the rhythmic, gentle motions on your skin, hardened tissues will soften gradually. From our experience, we discover that incorporating deep breathing, also known as diaphragmatic breathing, with

MLD helps boost the effectiveness of this technique as well as aid in opening deep-seated lymph collectors. Therefore, your massage therapist may begin and end the session with deep-breathing regimens like laughing. Also, if you are experiencing depression, stress, or anxiety along with a swollen spot, manual lymphatic drainage can help you achieve relief.
