Glossop Physio
Your lymphatic drainage massage treatment involves two stages
Clearing
Releases the fluid in the local tissues
Reabsorption
Moves the fluid toward the lymph node to clear it.
Additionally, lymphatic drainage is required by Lymphoedema patients to ease symptoms. Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that creates swelling in the body’s tissues. It develops when the lymphatic system is struggling to regulate. The lymphatic system is a network of glands throughout the entire body which remove excess fluid and fight infection.
