A lymph system which is in need of treatment can show itself through tiredness, premature ageing, puffiness and swollen joints, cellulite, spotty skin or acne, migraine, high blood pressure, scarring, broken capillaries in the face, stress. Lymphatic drainage massage is especially useful for individuals who seem to suffer regularly from common illnesses like colds and flu and poor immunity. It is also recommended for people who lead sedentary lifestyles, or those who want to reduce puffiness or swelling and water retention. It has been cited as having a positive effect on problem skin, cellulite, dysfunctional respiratory systems and people with low energy. Treatment can facilitate general feelings of health and vitality. It also has a positive physical effect, improving the appearance of the skin and reducing puffiness caused by water retention, poor circulation or pregnancy. As with other massage, it can help with pain from fractures and sprains and rheumatism, and it promotes the body's own healing mechanisms.

The Treatment 

A combination of gentle, pumping, flowing massage techniques, mobilisation exercises and deep breathing is designed to encourage the flow of lymph. Lymph is a fluid that circulates your body in a similar way to your blood and its function is to help cleanse your blood and is a major part of your immune system. However, this system does not have a pump like the heart, so it has to rely on muscle movement, gravity and some movement from artery walls. Because of this the fluid can become congested and cause lymph oedema often found in the ankles. This therapy is also very beneficial for people who have had operations or a period of being immobile, it is also helpful if you just feel like you need to detoxify your body and improve your circulation.
