Natural Bodywork​s Therapeutic Massage

Integrative Therapeutic Bodywork, CranioSacral Therapy and Myofascial Release Therapy

Manual Lymph Drainage is a specialized massage that gently assists the lymphatic system in maintaining the body’s fluid balance, blood circulation, and immune mechanisms. The system’s network of vessels and nodes contains lymph, a mixture of water, proteins, immune system components, waste products, and other remnants of cell metabolism. Lymph nodes, which filter out the debris, are found throughout the body, with especially large groups of them in the neck, armpits, and groin. These major collections of lymph nodes ensure that the lymph passes through as many nodes as possible before it returns to the circulatory system.

 The light rhythmic movements, applied without massage oil, stimulate the lymphatic system without compressing the vessels – allowing lymph to move easily through the tissues and lymph nodes. Manual Lymph Drainage massage follows a specific sequence over the body so lymph isn’t trapped anywhere, making sure every area is treated with care.
