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.
