LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

What is the Lymphatic System?

The Lymphatic system is a one way drainage system, it collects all the fluid and waste products that leak out of the blood vessels into the tissues, prevents noxious substances from entering the blood by filtering it through the lymph nodes until it is safe to return to the bloodstream.

Any swelling in a limb whether its small or large is a sign that your lymphatic system isn't working properly and can lead to waste products staying in the tissues and causing swelling or inflammation and potentially increases the risk of infection.

What helps Lymph to flow?

Variations of tissue pressure through breathing, exercise and manual lymphatic drainage all help to slowly, rhythmically and gently assist the lymphatic system to move the fluid into and along the vessels which helps the body to filter more lymph and prevent toxins from entering the blood. This helps to stop infections from spreading throughout the body, reduces swelling, and leads the client to a better outcome.
