Lymphatic massage for lymphedema patients

You’ve probably heard that lymphatic massage can relieve stress, aches and pains, and even help a bit with weight loss. But it can also help with more serious conditions like lymphedema.

For those who aren’t already aware, lymphedema is the obstruction of fluid (lymph) in the lymphatic system. Many treatments have been developed to fight this condition – that includes compression stockings and surgery. These treatments can be expensive, inconvenient, and painful.

But people like Robert Harris, director and senior Instructor at the Dr. Vodder School, believe there’s another way to address this condition.

In one of his journal papers, Harris says that lymphatic drainage massage is an effective way to clear accumulated fluid when the lymph system has failed.

This particular paper outlines three case studies examining the success of the detox massage procedure on patients with both primary and secondary lymphedema.

Three different non-invasive measuring tools were used to measure lymph flow in patients after a 45 minute standard lymphatic massage.

Harris’ findings indicate that there’s clearly something to be said about this easy and absolutely pain-free procedure.

The patients all improved.

Repeated massage sessions could drastically improve the condition in patients, increasing lymph flow and helping lymphedema.

At Transformational Health, our clients are certainly evidence of continued health and wellness after numerous lymphatic massage sessions.
