THE TECHNIC OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE
The therapist performs manual motions that activate the skin, lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels to accelerate lymph evacuation (water). This technique is used to reduce congestion and is an excellent tool to not only reduce water retention but also control inflammation and promote healing. It is also used in hospitals in the treatment of lymphedema, especially following breast or lymph node surgery.
