The lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle technique designed to help your body's lymphatic system function better. The lymphatic system is like your body's waste removal system, helping to remove toxins, excess fluid, and waste from your tissues.
During a lymphatic drainage massage, our therapist Camila uses light, rhythmic strokes to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid through your lymphatic vessels. This can help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and support your immune system.
Overall, lymphatic drainage massage aims to promote detoxification, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body's natural healing processes. It's often used to address issues like swelling, lymphedema, and post-surgical recovery, as well as to support overall wellness.
