A Medically Proven Massage Therapy that Detoxifies and Improves Skin

What is Manual Lymphatic Massage?

What is Manual Lymphatic Massage

Popular among massage enthusiasts, those who haven’t experienced a Manual Lymphatic Massage either have no idea what it entails and what benefits it may offer. Some think it’s a medical modality appropriate only for people suffering from Lymphedema—specifically cancer patients.

So, first, some medical science. Lymph, a mixture of immune system components, proteins, waste products, water, and other remnants of cell metabolism, is carried through the body by way of the lymphatic system, a network of nodes and vessels that help maintain blood circulation, the body’s fluid balance, and immune mechanisms.  Lymph nodes, abundant in the armpits, groin, and neck, filter out the debris before returning the lymph to the circulatory system.

Beneficial for Cancer Patients

When someone with cancer undergoes chemotherapy or radiation therapy, lymphedema—or a build-up of excess lymph that causes swelling—is a common side effect. Manual Lymphatic Massage encourages lymph to move steadily through the tissues and lymph nodes while preventing it from building up or getting trapped in any one area of the body. It helps relieve lymphedema and the pain and discomfort that accompany it.

Over the last 50 years, however, it has been discovered that Manual Lymphatic Massage can help dozens of conditions in addition to cancer. Experience a beneficial lymphatic drainage massage near you when you visit In2itive.

Only specially-trained massage therapists are qualified to perform the therapy, which uses a series of unique compressing, cupping, gliding, and stretching motions to keep the lymph moving without compressing the vessels. Manual Lymphatic Massage is done dry—without massage oils.

  • What Does It Feel Like?

    f you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to discuss them with your massage therapist, who will ask you plenty of questions concerning your overall health and what you hope to get out of your Manual Lymphatic Massage session. After that, preparing for the massage is just like any other massage—you’ll undress and lay on a heated table. But don’t expect a deep tissue massage because Manual Lymphatic Massage is nothing like that.

     

    You can expect your massage therapist to use light, repetitive strokes focusing on your arms, armpits, stomach, back, and legs. When the massage is over, your therapist will tell you to rest and drink a lot of water.

What To Expect

After My Massage?

Due to the gentle nature and specific focus of Manual Lymphatic Massage, you should not experience much in the way of soreness. There are, however, several things In2itive Touch & Wellness massage centre in Brampton recommends you do following any massage:

 

  • Stay hydrated. Drink more water than you think you need. Drinking a lot of extra water helps your lymphatic system to flush out even more debris and impurities.
  • Do some light stretching to release tension and improve circulation.
  • As soon as you are able, resume your regular activities, including exercise. Increased activity encourages the healthy flow of lymph.
  • Add a period of rest to your post-massage day, if possible. Take a nap, read a book, or listen to soothing music.
