Massages called lymphatic drainage improve the absorption and movement of lymph in the lymphatic system. It is a manual technique whose goal is to reduce or eliminate swelling (edema, lymphedema), most often on the limbs (feet, ankles, calves,...) and at the same time get rid of the body of toxins. The main principle is drainage or moving the swelling to the nearest lymph nodes by exerting gentle pressure on the skin and subcutaneous tissue in the direction of the flow of lymph in the lymphatic vessels. It is performed without oils, emulsions and ointments. We recommend increasing the intake of clean still water, limiting coffee or alcohol before manual lymphatic drainage. Do not plan sports activities on the day of the massage, as the body needs energy to get rid of toxins.
