Why does Manual Lymph Drainage work?
The lymph vessel system is responsible for carrying excess water, proteins and wastes from the connective tissue back to the bloodstream. During the transportation process it is cleaned, filtered and concentrated with many immune reactions occurring in the lymph nodes. If the pathways become congested, swelling occurs. If there is a trauma to the connective tissue, such as an injury or surgery, the lymph vessel system must transport the inflammatory products and toxins away from the area. The quicker this can happen, the faster the recovery will be. Manual Lymph Drainage facilitates this process.
