Manual Lymphatic drainage has powerful cleansing, relaxing, pain relieving and immunological effects.
It is used primarily to promote the optimal functioning of the lymphatic vessels that lead to the circulatory system; to facilitate the removal of metabolic waste, excess water, toxins, bacteria and foreign substances from tissues via the lymph vessels and venous capillaries. It also relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, reduces pain and enhances the activity of the immune system.
It is an effective treatment for a wide range of problems.
This 1 hour full body session begins with a full body brush to stimulate the system and prepare for the main part of the treatment. Then a full body treatment using light touch begins. This can be adjusted to pay particular attention to specific areas of concern that you can talk to with your therapist.
Whilst the techniques of lymphatic drainage are light to the touch, don’t be fooled by this; lymphatic drainage therapy can have quite strong effects on the body.
This one off session is ideal for anyone wanting some time out to relax, ease anxiety and tension. It is great for anyone feeling overstimulated or fatigued such as with chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia.
With benefits of boosting the immune system it can be a useful treatment to have at the change of seasons.
