The purpose of lymph drainage is to activate the body’s lymphatic system. Using gentle, stroking movements while applying light pressure, the lymph nodes and lymph tracts are stimulated and the flow of lymph is enhanced. The heightened lymph flow improves the overall state of the immune system. Lymph drainage is recommendable in the case of allergies, blockages such as oedema, heavy, overtired legs, and after an operation or accident.
By sticking on elastic cotton adhesive strips, the part of the body to be treated is guided, supported or relaxed. The aim of the therapy is not to limit movements, but to enable the physiological mobility of joints and muscles in order to activate endogenous control and healing processes.
