Lymph Drainage Therapy
Lymph Drainage Therapy
Lymph Drainage Therapy is a gentle technique that works through the body's interstitial and lymphatic system to activate the body liquid circulation and stimulate the functioning of the immune and parasympathetic nervous systems.
I use LDT to detect and palpate the specific rhythm, direction, depth and quality of the lymph flow anywhere in the body. With these skills, I practice Manual Lymphatic Mapping (MLM) of the lymphatic vessels to "map" the lymphatic pathways with my hands. With developed listening skills, I am then able to use my hands to assess and enhance overall circulation as well as determine the best alternate pathways for draining stagnant body fluid (lymph, interstitial, synovial fluid, etc…). I can also discover how to identify precise areas of the body where there is fluid stagnation or fibrosis, and then find the most appropriate pathways for drainage.
Using LDT, I can perceive and respond to the body's innate ability to heal itself, rerouting the lymph by following the subtle indications given by the body enhancing the healing process. This eliminates mental mistakes in assuming we know what the body needs and therefore enforcing pathways that are not optimal. Honoring the intelligence of the body ensures deeper and long lasting results.
