lymphatic drainage massage

The lymphatic system is a crucial part of our physical well being, providing key functions that regulate fluid retention and purify our bodies of toxins and cellular waste, as well as playing a major role in our immune systems. A stagnant lymphatic system can result in swelling edema, sluggish immune system, fatigue, acne and other skin conditions, and can even contribute to weight gain and depression among other symptoms. LDM (Lymphatic Drainage Massage) stimulates the lymphatic system, helping to purify your lymph and detox your body, reducing swelling and inflammation as well as boosting your immune system. LDM is a type of massage that targets the lymphatic system and stimulates its functions through gentle rhythmic touch that is known for inducing a relaxed, almost hypnotic, state of body and mind. Though LDM can benefit both healthy people as well as people with serious illness, it is best to consult your doctor if you have any health concerns before making an appointment to see if LDM is right for your condition. A full body LDM session is 90 minutes, site specific are 60 minutes depending on locations and severity of swelling/inflammation, and for a full body session with a problem area 2 hours is recommended. For severe cases, repeat sessions are recommended until the symptoms are resolved.
