Lymphatic massage is often referred to as Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).

The lymphatic system is the unsung hero of the body. Not only does it help to provide immunity, but it is your filtration system. Imagine if your body were a fish tank and your lymphatic system, the filter. When it does not work properly, the cells in your body fail to work optimally.

What makes it stop working so efficiently? LIFE! It can’t be helped. We don’t move as much as we are meant to, live in a very artificial environment, consume processed foods, have far more stress than we used to, and are continually exposed to viruses, bacteria, fungal spores, parasites, and chemicals. The lymphatic system must filter all these things out, as well as our cellular waste products.

Over time, our lymphatic nodes can clog. Normally, movement and diaphragmatic breathing are enough to keep things flowing, but sometimes, help is needed. That is why lymphatic treatment is important and so helpful for everyone.

Poor lymphatic function can lead to symptoms such as musculoskeletal pain, gut problems, puffiness or swelling, tiredness, and brain fog. Results are best seen with consecutive treatments; progress with chronic conditions takes 3 to 6 months. However, many clients report feeling very different after two to three treatments.
