Lymphatic Drainage Proven Effective for Edema

The Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine posted an article proving the effectiveness of Lymphatic Drainage massage techniques on edema--including Lymphedema--of the extremities.

Often, as a result of surgery months or even years prior, patients will find themselves with disabling edema (swelling) of their arms or legs.  Additional surgical procedures aren’t consistently effective for reducing the swelling. 

This article relays encouraging results of reducing/eliminating such edema by correcting the underlying causes of vascular obstruction or insufficiency via specialized massage techniques, weight loss for those who may be obese, and selectively using diuretics and various forms of elastic or other compressive supports. 

Lymph Drainage effectively reduces post-surgical swelling.

Several clients who have received my Lymphatic Drainage Massage techniques have reported diminished swelling, pain relief, improved coordination and function in their afflicted limb, and feeling much more like “themselves” again. 

To boot, Lymphatic Drainage is a great way to keep your immune system functioning optimally.
