What is
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle technique that supports one of the body's most important systems. Our lymphatic system detoxifies and regenerates our body's tissue, filters out toxins and foreign substances and maintains a healthy immune system.
Benefits
In essence, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy works to help recirculate body fluids, stimulate optimal function of the immune system and promote a state of relaxation and balance within the autonomic nervous system. It has been shown that when these actions are accomplished the results can include:
· Reduction in edema (swelling)
· Detoxification of the body
· Regeneration of tissues: from burns, or scarring
· Anti-aging effects
· Valuable both pre and post surgery
· Relief of chronic inflammation and conditions such as acne, rosacea, eczema and allergies
· Immune system stimulation for preventive and therapeutic effects
· Reduction in the symptoms of chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia
· Relief of chronic pain
· Deep relaxation to aid in relief from insomnia, depression, stress, loss of vitality and loss of memory
· Alleviation of adiposis and cellulite tissue
Your session can focus exclusively on LDT or the therapy can be combined with Massage and CranioSacral Therapy to best meet your individualized needs. I continue to advance my Lymphatic Drainage Therapy training with the Upledger Institute.
Remember when you book an hour session, you receive 60 minutes of bodywork, so be sure to allow time in your schedule!
