The Science Behind Lymphatic Drainage Therapy

Are you experiencing persistent soreness or inflammation in your body? If so, lymphatic drainage therapy may be the solution you’ve been waiting for. At Rhemedy by Rhed, a massage spa located in New York City, we offer this unique therapy that has been scientifically proven to improve lymphatic circulation and reduce pain and inflammation. Learn more below, then schedule an appointment today! What Is the Lymphatic System and Why Is It Important for the Body? The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that helps rid the body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted materials. It is responsible for maintaining the body’s fluid balance, absorbing fats from the digestive system, and filtering foreign invaders, such as bacteria or viruses. A healthy lymphatic system is essential for optimal health, as it promotes the elimination of harmful toxins and waste that can accumulate in the body. Lymphatic drainage therapy is one way to improve the function of this vital system. How Does Lymphatic Drainage Therapy Work? Lymphatic drainage therapy is a gentle massage technique that targets the lymph nodes and channels throughout the body. The massage is designed to stimulate the lymphatic system, encouraging the flow of lymphatic fluid to remove waste and toxins. During a lymphatic drainage massage, one of our trained massage therapists will use a light touch and rhythmic movements to promote lymphatic circulation. The massage typically begins at the neck and works down towards the feet, following the path of the lymphatic system. What Are the Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Therapy? Like many of our therapeutic massage services in NYC, lymphatic drainage therapy has numerous benefits for the body, including reducing inflammation, relieving pain, and boosting the immune system. It can also help with conditions that might be inhibiting your body’s overall well-being, such as edema or fibromyalgia. When Should You Consider Lymphatic Drainage Therapy? Lymphatic drainage therapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment that can benefit individuals of all ages and health conditions. However, it is particularly useful for those with chronic pain or inflammation, those undergoing cancer treatment, those with lymphedema, or those who have recently undergone surgery.

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.

[bs_row class=”row”][bs_col class=”col-sm-4″] [/bs_col][bs_col class=”col-sm-8 align-items-center”] Promotes Detoxification The lymphatic system is responsible for removing toxins, waste, and other harmful substances from the body. Without proper lymphatic function, these toxins can build up and cause a variety of health problems. Lymph node drainage sessions are an effective way to promote detoxification and eliminate harmful substances from the 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”] Boosts Immune System The lymphatic system is a key component of the immune system, helping to fight off infections and disease.

This can be particularly problematic for people with chronic conditions like lymphedema, fibromyalgia, and rheumatoid arthritis. Our massage therapists are trained to apply gentle pressure to the lymph nodes and lymphatic vessels, stimulating the lymphatic system and helping to relieve swelling and inflammation. [/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”] Improves Skin Health The lymphatic system is a crucial player in achieving healthy and radiant skin as it works to rid our bodies of toxins and impurities that can lead to skin problems and blemishes.
