Lymphatic drainage can be applied to the arms, legs, abdomen, neck, face and virtually every other area of your body that is affected. The treatment can afford an array of potential benefits. These include the following:
No, lymphatic drainage should not be painful. The massage technique is light and designed to gently stimulate the lymph flow within the body. However, some people may experience mild discomfort during or after a session due to increased inflammation or other individual issues. If this occurs, it is important to discuss this with your therapist so that any adjustments can be made for future sessions.
The lymphatic system plays an important role in our body’s ability to manage stress. When we experience physical or emotional stress, the body produces hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, resulting in increased heart rate, high blood pressure and increased levels of inflammation. This can lead to a weakened immune system, which puts us at greater risk for illness and disease. The lymphatic system helps to keep all these reactions in check by removing excess toxins from the body and promoting relaxation throughout the whole body. Through manual lymphatic drainage techniques, therapists are able to stimulate points on the neck and face that directly affect how our bodies handle stress.
Before your lymphatic drainage session, it is important to be well hydrated. Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of the appointment. You should also wear loose and comfortable clothing that will allow for easy access to the body areas being massaged. Avoid eating a heavy meal or drinking alcohol prior to your appointment as this can interfere with the process and possibly make you feel uncomfortable. Additionally, try to take some time to relax beforehand so that you are in an optimal state for receiving the massage.
