Lymph Drainage Therapy is practised in various forms around the world. It is a very specific technique of manual body massage therapy that is being applied with increasing success to a number of medical conditions, the main one being lymphoedema.

Lymphoedema is a condition caused by trauma, surgical removal, radiation or impairment of lymph nodes or lymph capillaires and veins. It is an excess of body fluid called lymph that is retained in body tissue and results in swelling to limbs or other parts of the body.

Lymphoedema can lead to problems such as skin infections of the affected limb, depleted immune responses to viral and bacterical invasion and significant stress on the cardiovascular system.

The lymphatic system has a vital role in the body by regulating the immune system, which protects the body against infection and the development of cancer. It transports nutrients to cells and eliminates metabolic wastes, toxins and excess fluid from the body. Lymph Drainage Therapy helps keep the lymphatic system working efficiently.

Lymph Drainage Therapy is also a very effective way of detoxing the body in addition to strimulating vital immune defences.
