Lymphatic massage is a light delicate form of massage that stimulates the body’s lymphatic system, thus improving the metabolism, assisting the body to eliminate waste and toxins and providing a boost to the immune system.

The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body`s ability to heal from injury and ward off disease. It is essential to the body`s drainage system for cleansing and filtering out toxins and bacteria.

As massage therapists we are working constantly on the lymphatic system but how many therapists truly understand the effects of our actions? By adapting our techniques and understanding the lymphatic system and lymphatic massage we are therefore, able to transform our treatments.
