The lymphatic system is a network of tissue, vessels, and organs that help rid the  body of toxins, waste, and other unwanted material. Each component of the  lymphatic system helps move lymph, a colorless watery fluid, back into the  bloodstream for detoxification. This process is done by lymphatic massage. 

Manual Lymphatic drainage is a sequence of gentle massage strokes which helps  to stimulate the flow of fluid (lymph) throughout the lymphatic system. Facilitating  the flow of fluids helps remove toxins from the body. These massages also help  prevents swelling, discomfort, bloating, pain, and, most importantly, fibrosis. This  technique is usually delivered over a 1-hour session and produces the best results  when initiated 1-2 days post-op if your doctor approves it. Optimal results come  from multiple sessions that will vary from client to client.

• Decreases inflammation 
• Lower the risk of fibrosis 
• Reduces scar formation and bruising 
• Removes excess water and waste
