Do you suffer from puffy legs, swollen ankles, excess fluid, abdominal discomfort, fluid retention or swelling? Itβs time to let us help ease the pressure with our Lymphatic Drainage Massage, a specialist treatment for fluid retention delivered by our very own fluid retention consultant, Cheyenne. Lymphatic Drainage Massage when delivered by fluid experts is a highly effective solution to alleviate this discomfort and improve overall health.
But first, why do we accumulate excess fluid to begin with?
Some of the key reasons for building up tight ankles and fluid around the body include hormonal change, periods of heightened stress, post-surgery swelling, illness, medications, inflammation, and some lifestyle factors.
Think of your lymphatic system as the body's drainage network, responsible for removing excess fluid and toxins. Like a well-maintained plumbing system, it keeps tissues clean and healthy. However, when this system becomes sluggish, fluid can accumulate, leading to swelling and discomfort.Β
Benefits of Lymphatic Drainage Massage for fluid retention
This technique promotes lymphatic flow, helping the body rid itself of excess fluid, clearing away debris and toxins, boosting the function of your main detoxification system, improving your overall health, and complexion.
- Promotes detoxification: Stimulates the lymphatic system, aiding in the removal of toxins and waste products from the body.
- Supports immune function: Enhances the movement of lymphocytes and immune cells, potentially boosting the immune system's ability to fight off infections and illnesses.
- Improves circulation: Enhances blood flow and lymphatic circulation, which can improve overall circulation and reduce the risk of fluid build-up in tissues.
- Relieves stress: Gentle, rhythmic massage movements induce relaxation and may help reduce stress levels.
- Enhances healing: Facilitates the transport of nutrients and oxygen to tissues while removing metabolic waste, supporting the body's natural healing processes.
- Reduces pain and discomfort: Alleviates discomfort associated with conditions such as fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome by reducing inflammation and improving fluid balance.
- Improves skin health: Contributes to healthier skin by promoting lymphatic drainage, reducing puffiness, and enhancing nutrient delivery to skin cells.
