Lymphatic draining is a manual massage technique that stimulates the body’s lymph and interstitial fluid flow.

This method consists of gentle motions made with the fingers and palms of the hands on the whole body. Those motions are made toward the lymphatic flow to create a pumping effect by changing the exerted pressure. This method is often combined with pressotherapy equipment, which allows different pressure points to be exerted simultaneously.

Lymph flows through lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes, which filter waste the human body produces. Unlike the blood system, the lymphatic network isn’t activated by the heart, so it must rely on breathing and body movements to eliminate waste and toxins from the body.

The interstitial liquid is the clear liquid that occupies the space between blood cells and capillaries. It provides nutrients to the cells and releases them from their waste.

Benefits
Excess weight and a lack of muscle activity can interfere with lymph flow and weaken the body. Bad lymphatic flow can cause swollen limbs, leg heaviness, cellulite, stretch marks, and other unwanted effects. Lymphatic draining is therefore used to stimulate a deficient lymphatic flow and reduce these unwanted effects.

Lymphatic drainage is a technique that can be performed as part of comprehensive care. The movements are usually slow and soft and vary according to the method used. It is performed on the body with oil, like a massage on a massage table.
