lymphatic massage therapy– what is it?
There are various parts to your vascular system (blood system) and your lymphatic system is one part of it. Your heart pumps blood into your body through your arteries and the blood returns to your heart via two means; via your veins and your lymphatic system.
A lot of your tissue fluids are removed by your lymph system and helps with your immune system. Sometimes, your lymphatic system becomes sluggish and you get a pooling of fluids in it. Manual lymphatic drainage massage courses teach a gentle massage therapy which attempts to remove any excess fluid in the bodies lymphatic system. Various conditions can be helped for example lymphoedema.
