Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage Northamptonshire

The Lymphatic System

Shirley’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage in Northamptonshire offers a solution for many ailments or discomforts that are impacting the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is essential for the balance of fluid in our bodies, collecting and circulating excess fluid, absorbing fatty acids from the tissue cells and digestive system and regulating our immune systems.

The lymphatic system is formed by lymph vessels, nodes and other tissues throughout our bodies. There are estimated to be 600 lymph nodes throughout the human body, with the most prevalent being in the armpits, groin and neck. The lymphatic system drains and purifies excess fluid and balances the amount of fluids circulating in your body. When something disrupts the lymphatic system’s process, lymph collects in the tissues, most commonly your arms and legs and as a result, swelling forms.

The MLD Process

Shirley’s Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage in Northamptonshire presents four main strokes: stationary circles, scoop technique, pump technique and rotary technique. The skin is stretched in specific directions according to lymph flow using hand movements to promote variations in interstitial pressure without the use of oils. Slow repetitive movements are used which incorporate a resting phase allowing the skin to return to its original position. MLD is applied to the unaffected areas first, making it possible for the fluid to move out of the affected area or ‘decongest’ the region.
