Why do I send my patients lymph drainage sessions manually?
When the lymphatic system is congested, the lymph nodes can not perform their work correctly and the fact that the lymph nodes are swollen is a sign that something abnormal happens inside us. It is normal for any type of surgery to present inflammation and edema. Edema or retentions occur when the lymphatic system is unable to purify those areas, when liquids and substances stagnate.
Lymphatic drainage massages prevent complications and stimulate the recovery of the body by cleaning the congested areas, prevents inflammation, helps in healing, reduces the appearance of unwanted lines and folds, promotes the reduction of body fat.
Taking into account the benefits of performing a good lymphatic drainage therapy and the consequences of not doing them, I send my patients at least 10 sessions and I recommend finding specialized and certified people to perform the massages since any other type of massage is contraindicated and can cause major problems to the patient.
