Lymphatic drainage is light massage therapy treatment. Lymphatic drainage massage helps increase the function of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system transports lymph fluid in the body that helps remove metabolic waste and toxins out of the body. The lymphatic system is made up of lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes that assist in the draining of unwanted fluids. The lymph flow does not have a pump and only flows in one direction towards the neck. Lymphatic drainage can also be used to reduce swelling or oedema after injury or surgery. Our massage therapists working at Physio.co.uk use lymphatic drainage massage to assist the removal of excess fluids and metabolic waste.
