LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

THE TREATMENT & MY THOUGHTS

Lymphatic drainage should not be confused with traditional massage as it is very different. It involves a lot of flowing gentle skin stretching movement. This is done to aid the lymphatic system, in its removal of waste products.

N.B. my qualification is not suitable for post cosmetic surgery or for cases of complex Lymphatic issues. Unfortunately I am unable to help you if you fall into either of these categories.

In todays society we often eat a lot of processed foods, do not drink enough water, and do not exercise as we should. All of this leads to build up of toxic waste products in our bodies. Our lymph system becomes sluggish and the accumulation of waste products in the body results in tiredness, a lack of energy and increased illness.

This treatment is designed to help the lymphatic system clear and get back to optimal efficiency.
