Lymphatic Drainage Massage

Lymphatic drainage massage is a form of gentle massage that encourages the drainage of lymph nodes and movement of lymph fluids around the body. It can help relieve lymphedema.

The fluid in the lymphatic system helps remove waste and toxins from body tissues. Some health conditions can cause lymph fluid to build up. Lymphatic drainage massages can benefit people with lymphedema, fibromyalgia, or other conditions.

What are the benefits?
 
The lymphatic system plays a key role in the body’s immune defences.

Lymphatic fluid flows through lymph vessels, which connect lymph nodes. As it passes through the lymph nodes, white blood cells trap and destroy harmful particles, such as bacteria.

Like blood in the circulatory system, lymphatic fluid is always moving. If it stops, swelling can occur, as lymph fluid builds up, often in the arms or legs. Health experts call this lymphedema.

What can you expect?

As each person and issue is unique, our massage therapists will ask you detailed questions about your problem, health history, medications that you are currently taking and concerns.

According to the information that you give, your massage therapist will advise you on how they will treat you.

Your therapy will involve the kneading, manipulation and movement of your muscles, tendons and ligaments. Your muscle tissues will relax, causing your contraction, spasm and nerve compression pain to reduce.

Depending on the type of problem you have and your medical history, your massage therapist may use the following methods to treat you.

● Lymphatic Drainage    ● Deep tissue    ● Reflexology    ● Remedial    ● Sports    ● Neuromuscular    ● Shiatsu    ● Trigger Point    ● Relaxation

How can it help?

Massage therapists use the manipulation of muscles, tendons and ligaments to reduce stress, anxiety, pain, relax the muscles and rehabilitate injuries.

Due to these benefits, massage therapy can also be effective at helping persons cope with current illnesses such as:

● a life-threatening illness such as cancer.

Do you need a GP’s referral?

Massage therapists are primary contact practitioners, meaning that you can visit one without a referral from your GP.

However, if you are being treated through Workers’ Compensation, Chronic Disease Management, Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) or Compulsory Third Party Insurance after a car accident, then please bring your GP’s referral to your initial appointment.

Can this be claimed on my insurance?
