Does jumping on a trampoline help lymph flow?
I do not know of any good scientific studies that show this. We can “assume” that it does, but we cannot say how much help it actually offers. We know that the antigravitational effects of trampoline use help venous flow. Even though lymph flow is not usually affected by gravity (Olszewski study), we can assume trampoline use will help the lymph flow move from valve to valve. As with any kind of exercise, it will also help with external compression of the lymphangions, i.e., contractions of skeletal muscles, deep breathing, acceleration of heart contraction and flow, stimulation of antibody-antigen contact, and stimulation of immune functions.
