What is so special about therapeutic, preventive lymphatic drainage massage?
Lymphatic drainage massage is one of the most effective tools for those who want to prevent various diseases, want to improve blood circulation or treat a disordered lymphatic system. Lymphatic system disorder is one of the most common in modern society. People do not move much, many do sedentary work, wear awkward, overly tight clothing. Unbalanced food and harmful habits also adversely affect our body and the lymphatic system. The more causes, the faster the lymph flow is disrupted.
The lymphatic system is like a separate system in the body, and the lymph itself is the connective tissue that connects the blood and tissue cells. The lymphatic system filters out the substances that enter the body and it cleanses what is harmful. All of this happens when lymph fluid circulates in the body.
Disorders of the lymphatic system cause such discomfort as varicose veins, cellulitis, numbness of the limbs, weight gain. Without doing anything, the disorder gets older and it is becoming increasingly difficult to rebuild the lymphatic system. In addition, the lymphatic system disorder affects the emotional state, weakened immunity, heart problems, prostate, hypertension - high blood pressure, exacerbation of eczema, atopic dermatitis, attacking viral infections, a person feels tired.
In order to improve the work of the lymphatic system, it is necessary to balance the diet, try to exercise more, exercise and swim. The function of the lymphatic system is greatly improved by lymphatic drainage massage, which is probably one of the most effective means to restore normal lymph flow and help the body regain strength. It is perfect for both prevention and already in case of disorders.
Lymphatic drainage massage is a great way to normalize and restore the work of the lymphatic system. This massage can be boldly called healing because it helps you feel better.

Therefore, even if you do not feel that you may have a lymphatic system disorder, try this massage prophylactically. A prophylactic massage will help you avoid many troubles, as well as keep your skin beautiful, supple and young.
Lymphatic drainage massage can be performed in two ways - by hand and with special massagers or apparatus. In terms of efficiency, they don’t differ much, but there are certain things a professional can do with their hands that the machine won’t do. Apparatus is more often used in Lithuania, because we have relatively few really highly qualified and capable masseurs who would perform lymphatic drainage massage well and correctly.
Lymphatic drainage massage is performed by hand in slow movements, massaging along the direction of lymph flow. This activates lymph circulation in the body. The specialist will be able to discover and eliminate the cause of the lymph metabolic disorder, and in cases where the cause of the pain or ailment is specific and cannot be removed by massage alone, will refer you to a specialist in the field.
The lymphatic drainage massage machine does a similar job as the hand massager. The device achieves results a little faster
