Lymphatic Massage


The most important benefit of lymphatic massage is its ability to enhance the function of the blood and lymphatic system, thereby reducing aches, pains, soreness and flu like symptoms. When lymph flow is enhanced, toxic and infectious materials as well as filtration of excess bodily substances like protein and water are removed effectively from the tissues.

Lymphatic massage utilizes a light pressure combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. It is used to increase the body's immune system. Reduces swelling or edema from injuries. Reduces joint pain, alleviates menstrual cramps, regulates mood irregularities, headaches/migraines, and arthritis. Increases the body's healing capacity after surgery by enhancing tissue regeneration. For breast cancer survivors that have had their lymph nodes removed it helps with the reduction of lymph congestion. Decreases swelling and bruising from cosmetic surgeries, liposuction, breast reduction and augmentation, and laser surgeries.
