Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage is a non-invasive, hands-on technique using light, rhythmical movements with precise speed, pressure, and direction of hands. It is a gentle approach used to cleanse the body's tissues by removing metabolic wastes, excess water, toxins, bacteria, and foreign substances.

Lymphatic Mapping
Lymphatic Mapping is a non-invasive method which enables trained practitioners to use their hands to identify the specific direction of the lymphatic circulation and find alternate pathways in cases of lymph circulation obstruction. As an assessment tool, Manual Lymphatic Mapping can help assess the effects of lymphatic drainage by evaluating the patient before, during, and after treatment.

Effects of Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage affects three major systems of the body: The Nervous System, Circulatory System and Immune System.

• Nervous System - A light, repetitive, steady changing hand pressure stimulates pressure receptors in the skin to inhibit pain receptors thereby decreasing pain. This light rhythmic motion also diminishes the sympathetic response (fight/flight) of the Nervous System, causing a calming, relaxation and anti-spastic effect on the body.



• Circulatory and Immune Systems - Applying a specific, directional, rotary motion stimulates the fluid circulation of the body to increase lymph flow (detoxify the body) and activate venous re-sorption (reduce swelling/edema).
