Lymphatic drainage massage

 
Lymphatic drainage massage

This highly technical form of massage is best done by a physiotherapist. It's recommended for people who suffer from heavy legs at the end of the day or œdemas. It aims to reduce stasis causes by poor circulation. It involves slow, gentle massage and pressure designed to pump and stimulate flow in the lymph vessels. Lymphatic drainage massage is not intended to get rid of cellulite, but by improving the flow between tissue and helping to eliminate waste and toxins, it can help to dislodge cellulite and can be a great ally alongside other anti-cellulite treatment and lifestyle changes. Ideally it should be done at least once a week for several weeks in order to be effective (a minimum of 30 45-minute sessions).
