In January I experienced a kind of
massage I never had before. In the
interest of trying to rid my tummy of a cellulite pillow that resided there
despite all exercises, I got a Lymphatic Massage and coupled it with a body spa treatment.
It was an enjoyable experience and I felt energized the next day. As a matter of fact, I felt like I had lost
10 pounds. I’d like to feel that way
everyday, wouldn’t you?
What is Lymphatic Massage?
This special type of bodywork, while very gentle and
seemingly superficial, helps to restore function to the lymph system and
balance the body. A customized form of
bodywork, lymphatic massage may help the lymph system do its job better. By
understanding the anatomy and function of this delicate system, your massage
therapist can assist your body in clearing sluggish tissues of waste and
swelling.
Why Does Lymphatic Massage Work?
Why Does Lymphatic Massage Work?
Though lymph vessels are found throughout the body, most of
them--about 70 percent--are located just below the skin. These fragile vessels
work to pick up fluids between the cell spaces when gentle pressure is applied
to them from increased fluid build-up, muscle contractions, or the pressure of
a therapist's hands. By using very light pressures in a rhythmic, circular motion,
a massage therapist can stimulate the lymph system to work more efficiently and
help it move the lymph fluids back to the heart so the body can process and
eliminate these fluids. Combined with
body spa treatments, cellulite can be reduced and skin tone restored.
Who Should Get It?
Lymph massage can benefit just about everyone. If you're
feeling tired and low on energy, or if you've been sick and feeling like your
body is fighting to get back on track, lymph massage would likely serve you
well. In addition, athletes, surgical patients, fibromyalgia and chronic
fatigue sufferers, as well as those wanting a fresh look may want to consider
lymphatic massage.
So, if you're feeling a bit sluggish, experiencing mild to
moderate swelling, recovering from a sports injury, or interested in optimizing
your lymph system for stronger immunity, ask your massage therapist about
lymphatic massage. It can have a powerful impact on your body's ability to
heal. For more information: http://www.massagetherapy.com/articles/index.php/article_id/1050/The-Benefits-of-Lymphatic-Massage
