ManualLymphatic Drainage Technique

Manual lymphatic drainage, is a type of gentle massage which is intended by proponents to encourage the natural circulation of the lymph through the body.

Manual manipulation of the lymphatic ducts consist of gentle, rhythmic massaging of the skin to stimulate the flow of lymph and its return to the blood circulation system.

In the blood’s passage through the kidneys, the excess fluid is filtered out and eliminated from the body through urination.

The treatment is very gentle and a typical session will involve drainage of the neck, trunk, and involved extremity, lasting about 40 to 60 minutes.
