When the lymphatic system is congested, lymph nodes can not perform their work properly and that arise inflamed lymph is a sign that something unusual going on inside. It is normal after any type of surgery present .The inflammation and edema or retentions occur when the lymphatic system is not able to debug these areas, or when liquids and substances stagnate.
For this reason, I prescribe at l at least 10 sessions of this therapy.
Manual lymph drainage is a therapy that involves making the skin massage slow, rhythmic, harmonic and very smooth movements, when done in the proper direction, following the flow of the lymphatic channels, it stimulates the drainage of these ducts nodes, cleaning congested areas. This technique requires a certain amount of intuition and very accurately, because the pressure is a factor and each case and each patient requires care and special handling.
Effective MLD session should last at least one hour. It is advisable that your therapist performs this in a harmonious space that conducive patient to relaxation.
The manual lymphatic drainage movements are extremely slow and repetitive, always following the direction to lymphatic conducts.
With concern , I've noticed that people have a misconception of this therapy concept and confuse a common massage with lymphatic drainage massage . I would like to clear that Another type of massage in a postoperative period is totally contraindicated because it can cause even more edema on operated patients .
