Insights into LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE
By Cee,
Owner of Shape Of You
Lymphatic drainage massage is different to the usual soft tissue massage.
It targets the lymphatic system which plays an important role in flushing out toxins, bacteria, and waste products.
When this system isn’t functioning at its best — due to stress, poor circulation, or even a sedentary lifestyle — it can lead to water retention, puffiness, and that uncomfortable “swollen” feeling.
A lymphatic drainage massage gently stimulates lymph flow, treating a variety of issues and helping your body get back on track.
WHAT DOES LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE TREAT?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a powerful, non-invasive treatment designed to treat these various conditions:
Cellulite
Boosts Circulation: Enhances blood and lymph flow, reducing the stagnant fluid that can worsen cellulite.
Smooths Skin: By improving circulation, the treatment helps minimise the appearance of dimples and uneven texture.
Complementary Results: Works well alongside body contouring treatments to enhance the overall effect
Bloating
Eases Abdominal Pressure: Gentle massage encourages the removal of excess fluid, reducing abdominal tightness
Improves Digestion: Stimulates lymph flow, which can support your body’s natural detox processes and digestive health.
Promotes a Lighter Feeling: Helps eliminate the heavy, uncomfortable sensation associated with bloating.
Lipadema
Reduces Swelling: Stimulates the lymphatic system to remove excess fluid trapped between fat cells.
Eases Discomfort: Gentle massage alleviates tenderness and reduces the heaviness often associated with lipedema.
Encourages better circulation and fluid movement, helping improve flexibility and ease of movement.
Water retention
Flushes Excess Fluid: Stimulates the lymphatic system to naturally eliminate retained water.
Relieves Puffiness: Reduces swelling in the affected areas, leaving you feeling lighter.
Improves Circulation: Promotes better blood flow to prevent fluid buildup in the future.
One of my most rewarding aspects to my role at Shape for You are the transformations both physically and emotionally for our clients.
For example; Chloe started her journey at Shape of You with her personalised Fat Freezing Treatment program and her testimonial speaks for itself.
