The lymphatic system is made up of superficial and deep pathways of lymphatic fluid that circulates through the muscle tendons and other various parts of the body. This fluid circulates nutrients to the tissues and organs of the body. For various reasons this flow can be interrupted and congestion of fluid will result in swelling, pain and pressure. The most common causes of the interruption of flow is a result of surgical procedures, scar tissue and injuries. Through gentle manipulation of the tissue the lymphatic fluid is redirected to flow through its normal pathways. Releasing the constriction of the fluid restores the body to its natural flow. This technique is especially beneficial following mastectomy or breast surgery, sinusitis, or broken or sprained muscles or tendons. The technique removes waste products from stagnant fluid flow and replaces it with nutrient rich lymphatic fluid. Sessions can last from 30 minutes to one hour. The most rewarding part of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is the client will see results within minutes of the treatment.
