Lymphatic Drainage Massage
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle massage technique which uses precise, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of the lymphatic system in the body. The lymphatic system requires that the connective tissue be vacant of any excess water, proteins, bacteria, viruses, red blood cells, dead cells, or any destroyed cells due to surgery or trauma.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is beneficial in removing any infections, lessening edema or tissue fluid reservation, and reduces all lymphatic arteries. The massage can be especially soothing in stimulating pain-inhibitory impulses. The rhythm and pressure of lymph drainage massage work together to reduce pain, improve immune function, increase tissue metabolism, enhance nutrition to the tissues, enacts fluid balance and essentially generates deep relaxation.

Also called Western massage, it is the most common and recognizable massage routine being practiced today, and it has helped as a foundation for many of the massage techniques developed in new years. Swedish massage is a controlled system of manipulations on the muscles and connective soft tissue of the body for the purpose of easing, rehabilitation, and health maintenance. It is comprised of five basic strokes and their variations: effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), friction (cross fiber), percussion (rhythmic tapping), and vibration.
Swedish/Western massage directly raises blood circulation, thus improving delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the tissues. It also increases lymph circulation, which speeds up the removal of metabolic waste and the by-products of tissue damage and inflammation.
