Lymphatic drainage massage
Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage technique that stimulates the flow of lymph, a fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system, which is crucial for immune function and detoxification. It helps to remove toxins, excess fluids, reducing bloating and swelling, improving overall health and vitality.
Lymphatic drainage massage using the Vacuum Roller Machine is an advanced technique that combines vacuum suction and the rollers to promote lymphatic circulation, reduce fluid retention, and support detoxification.
Post-Treatment Care:
- After the session, clients are encouraged to drink plenty of water to help flush out the toxins that have been released during the treatment
- The therapist may also recommend some gentle stretching or light movement to continue supporting lymphatic flow.
