Blog, what is Lymphatic Drainage Therapy?

The History of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

/

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is a technique that has been used for centuries for therapeutic purposes and to reduce swelling in the body. This technique was first introduced by Dr. Emil Vodder in the early 1930s. At Rhemedy by Rhed Therapeutic Massage, our therapists use Lymphatic Drainage Therapy based on Dr. Vodder’s methods. Origin Story Originally, Dr. Vodder discovered Lymphatic Drainage Therapy while working in France with patients who suffered from congested lymph nodes. He noticed that when he applied light manual pressure to his patients’ lymph nodes, it helped push lymph fluid throughout the body, resulting in a reduction in swelling. Upon examining the lymph fluid, Dr. Vodder and his wife, Dr. Estrid Vodder, found that the lymphatic system played a crucial role in the body’s immune system. This realization led them to develop a specific technique to promote optimal lymphatic health. They developed a precise sequence of light manual massages of the lymph nodes, which helped to improve the flow of lymph fluid throughout the body. Field Of Massage Therapy Their discovery of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy revolutionized the field of massage therapy. It began to gain recognition in Europe and quickly spread throughout the rest by the 1990s. Today, its popularity continues to grow around the world. Benefits of LDT The technique of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is designed to boost the body’s immune system by promoting the flow of lymph fluid, which is crucial in waste elimination and detoxification. This non-invasive technique stimulates the lymphatic system, which contributes significantly to the immune system and helps the body fight against infections and illnesses. Lymphatic Drainage Therapy also has cosmetic benefits. Poor lymphatic circulation can cause a buildup of fluid in the tissues resulting in bloating, swelling, and water retention, which can be resolved with the help of this therapy. In addition, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can enhance the appearance of the skin by decreasing puffiness, improving the texture, reducing inflammation, and promoting the production of collagen. Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is also useful in treating conditions such as lymphedema, a condition in which excess fluid accumulates in tissues and causes severe swelling. It is also helpful for individuals who have undergone surgery, those who are experiencing chronic pain or tension, and individuals who have autoimmune disorders. Why Trust Rhemedy? Our trained therapists stimulate the lymphatic system using gentle, rhythmic movements to promote detoxification and decrease fluid accumulation in the tissues. Clients will leave the treatment feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and with improved lymphatic circulation. The discovery of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy has brought immense benefits to the field of massage therapy. With its numerous advantages, such as reducing swelling, improving immune system function, enhancing the appearance of the skin, and treating various conditions, it is no wonder why more people opt for this therapy to improve their overall health and well-being. At Rhemedy by Rhed Therapeutic Massage, our trained therapists have years of experience in performing Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, utilizing a blend of traditional techniques and modern advancements to promote optimal lymphatic health.

If you’re considering having a massage cupping therapy session in West End or Chelsea, NY,  Rhemedy By Rhed Therapeutic Massage is here to provide all the reasons you need to book an appointment.  [bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] It Looks Scary — How Does It Feel? Massage cupping therapy may sound daunting, but this type of massage is actually very relaxing. It is a gentle form of therapy that uses suction cups to create a vacuum effect on your skin. The cups are placed along the muscle groups and help to increase circulation and lymphatic flow. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] What Does The Cup Do? The process of massage cupping therapy involves the massage therapist placing the cups on your skin and applying a mild suction by using a suction pump. The therapist will then glide the cups over your skin in circular motions, helping to release adhesions, drain excess fluids and toxins, and relax the muscles. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Made For Any Athlete  One of the most significant benefits of massage cupping therapy is that it can be customized to meet each client’s specific needs. The therapist can adjust the intensity of the suction to suit individual preferences and can focus on specific areas of the body where the client feels the most tension. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Overall Health Benefits  Massage cupping therapy can also have a positive effect on your overall health and well-being. The vacuum effect created by the cups can stimulate the lymphatic system, which helps to remove toxins from the body. Additionally, the therapy can help to reduce inflammation, promote healing and reduce muscle pain. [/bs_col][/bs_row] Overall, massage cupping therapy is a safe and effective form of alternative therapy for anyone looking to improve their physical and mental health.

Lymphatic drainage massages help to alleviate lymphedema by reducing inflammation and increasing lymphatic flow, resulting in decreased swelling and discomfort. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Promoting Detoxification For those who have faced the challenges of breast cancer and its treatments, the process of naturally releasing toxins and waste is crucial.

Lymphatic Drainage Therapy: When To Expect Results & How Often Are Sessions Needed

/

Knowledge is power. At Rhemedy By Rhed, we want to provide our clients with all the information they need about our lymphatic drainage therapy. If you’re curious about when to expect results and how often to schedule sessions for this gentle and effective way to promote circulation,  keep reading as we navigate these important questions and help you chart a course toward healing and renewal. [bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] General Detox, Low Energy Not everyone comes to us for lymphatic drainage therapy for the same reason. If you’re feeling low on energy or need to detox, this gentle treatment is a great way to get back on track. For the best results, we recommend two sessions in the first month to help balance and restore your system. From there, one session every three to four months is the perfect way to maintain optimal immune function and keep your body running at its best. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Detox for Weight Loss or PH-Balance If you’re seeking to shed some extra pounds or balance your PH levels, consider lymphatic drainage therapy as a gentle and effective way to support your goals. But just like a skilled musician needs to tune their instrument regularly to produce beautiful melodies, your body needs regular lymphatic drainage sessions to keep it in optimal condition. To give your body the best chance to heal, we recommend two sessions within two weeks to clear the system, followed by monthly appointments for two to three months. And don’t forget, it’s important to make lifestyle changes to restore balance in your body. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Lymphedema, Swelling, Chronic Inflammation Imagine your body as a blooming garden, and just like any garden, it needs to be nurtured and taken care of. Lymph node drainage therapy is like a gentle shower of rain that washes away toxins and promotes healthy circulation throughout your body. This is the case for most clients including those who have had a mastectomy, even if they don’t currently suffer from lymphedema. And for those of you dealing with hormone imbalances, PMS, hormonal acne, or menopause, we recommend one session a month for three months, followed by every other month for three months. From there, booking an appointment once every three to four months will help keep your body feeling as fresh and vibrant as a newly bloomed flower in a garden. [/bs_col][/bs_row][bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Post-Surgery Therapeutic Massages For those of you recovering from surgery or injury, we recommend coming in every other week for two months. Each case is different, so healing time can vary greatly. But most clients see positive results such as decreased swelling and pain after their first post-surgical session. The frequency of your sessions is dependent on your goals and how congested your lymph system is. [/bs_col][/bs_row] Results can last up to 10 days, depending on your metabolism and lifestyle. But one thing’s for sure — after a lymphatic drainage session, you’ll feel rejuvenated and relaxed for days. Come on into our therapeutic massage practices in Chelsea and West Village, New York, and let us help you on your journey toward healing and renewal.
