Lymphatic Drainage
The main actions of Lymphatic Drainage
are to stimulate the circulation of the lymphatic flow and indirectly
the blood, the immune system, and the autonomic nervous system, which
has a tremendous impact on health.
The lymphatic circulation
is a slow rhythm, low-velocity, and low-pressure system. The lymphatic
system cleanses tissue on a regular basis and removes waste and cells
in acute conditions, such as injury or necrosis. It absorbs excess
fluid, proteins, electrolytes, toxins, and foreign substances.
Lymphatic
Drainage can ease the recovery from surgery and enhance overall health.
For clients facing surgery, lymphatic drainage offers myriad benefits.
For optimal results, it is recommended that lymphatic drainage be
applied for one or two sessions prior to surgery. Post-surgical
lymphatic drainage can be applied as soon as 24 hours after surgery
with the approval of the surgeon. It significantly gives relief from
edema, swelling that can cause pain, promote infection, and distort
features. It also improves the scarring process.
