About Ashiatsu

Lymphatic drainage therapy is a gentle, yet effective massage technique that helps to improve the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Lymph fluid is a clear fluid that carries waste products and toxins away from the tissues and back to the bloodstream. When the lymphatic system is not functioning properly, lymph fluid can build up, causing swelling, pain, and inflammation. Lymphatic drainage therapy can help to reduce swelling, improve circulation, and boost the immune system.

How Does Lymphatic Drainage Work?

Lymphatic drainage therapy is performed by a trained therapist who uses a light, rhythmic touch to massage the skin and underlying tissues. The therapist will use specific techniques to stimulate the lymph nodes and vessels, which helps to move lymph fluid along. Lymphatic drainage therapy is typically performed on the arms, legs, abdomen, and chest.

Lymphatic drainage therapy is different from traditional massage in several ways. First, lymphatic drainage therapy is a more gentle technique that is specifically designed to stimulate the lymphatic system. Second, lymphatic drainage therapy is typically performed on specific areas of the body, such as the arms, legs, abdomen, and chest. Third, lymphatic drainage therapy is often used to treat specific conditions, such as lymphedema, swelling, and pain.
