Manual lymphatic drainage
Manual lymphatic drainage is a specialized physical treatment method that aims to stimulate the lymph flow in the body and reduce swelling. Through many years of experience and research, special hand movements have been developed that are specifically applied along the lymphatic drainage routes towards the heart. These gentle techniques lead to a slow and low-pressure tissue deformation that stimulates the activity of the lymphatic vessels.
During the treatment, the movements are repeated, which leads to a significant increase in the lymphatic transport capacity. In the long term, regular use of manual lymphatic drainage also promotes the formation of functional bypass routes in the skin, which improves general health and reduces the risk of complications. This therapy is particularly effective in treating swelling after surgery, injury or certain diseases such as lymphedema. In addition, manual lymphatic drainage can increase general well-being, reduce stress and promote relaxation.
