What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic drainage treatment is a unique massage that is particularly done to strengthen the immune system, balance body fluids, and improve blood circulation. It is a great treatment that helps to stimulate the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system works more efficiently to eliminate body waste thanks to its network of blood vessels and nodes.
While performing a lymphatic drainage massage in Los Angeles, a combination of stretching, gliding, compression motions, and cupping is used by your provider over the body. This process is done using a specific sequence. The rhythmic movements are critical because they allow lymph to flow quickly through nodes and tissues until it gets out of the body. Lymph consists of waste products, proteins, cell metabolism remnants, excess fluid, and immune system components which hold debris no longer needed by the body. Failure to leave the body, lymph can cause a health condition called lymphedema, which can be fatal. This condition leads to swelling in various body areas, such as the leg or arm. In some cases, the patient will feel water weight or bloated.
