The lymphatic system is responsible for helping fluid and waste leave the body and for regulating the immune system. When the lymphatic system becomes blocked, fluid builds up and stagnates, causing the entire system to become toxic, making us feel sluggish and more susceptible to viral or contagious diseases. By stimulating this system through massage, it works more efficiently, which in turn boosts the immune system, clears blockages, eliminates toxins, transports nutrients to cells and increases the metabolism. The lymphatic system is responsible for the production of antibodies for the immune system and the technique improves the environment of the antibody, boosting its resistance to infection.

Lymph Nodes and Direction of Lymph Flow within the Body



What you will learn on this course?

Lymphatic drainage is essentially a form of massage carried out by a specialist practitioner. Unlike some other forms of massage, lymphatic drainage utilises a very light pressure combined with soft pumping movements in the direction of the lymph nodes. You will learn how to conduct this treatment massage safely and professionally also taking into account the importance in giving correct aftercare advice. You will also cover how to conduct a thorough consultation. **All students must have a Swedish Massage or Aromatherapy Massage Qualification prior to doing this course**

Main Benefits?

A lymph system which is in need of treatment can show itself through tiredness, premature ageing, puffiness and swollen joints, cellulite, spotty skin or acne, migraine, high blood pressure, scarring, broken capillaries in the face, stress. Lymphatic drainage massage is especially useful for individuals who seem to suffer regularly from common illnesses like colds and flu and poor immunity. It is also recommended for people who lead sedentary lifestyles, or those who want to reduce puffiness or swelling and water retention. It has been cited as having a positive effect on problem skin, cellulite, dysfunctional respiratory systems and people with low energy. Lymphatic drainage massage boosts the immune system so, as well as helping the body ward off illness, treatment can facilitate general feelings of health and vitality. It also has a positive physical effect, improving the appearance of the skin and reducing puffiness caused by water retention, poor circulation or pregnancy. As with other massage, it can help with pain from fractures and sprains and rheumatism, and it promotes the body's own healing mechanisms. Lymphatic drainage massage utilises very light pressure
