Lymphatic Drainage Therapy aims to gently and rhythmically move the lymph through the body, especially swollen areas of the body, relieving pressure and enhancing the functioning of the immune system. As both a preventative and remedial technique, LD can be used for a wide range of purposes including faster recovery from injury, reduction of swelling and discomfort from pregnancy, and strengthened resistance to illness.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy is rapidly becoming popular in mainstream wellness communities. With the current attention being drawn to Opioid abuse, this therapy is being used to assist in ridding the body of toxicity related to pain medication withdrawl, pain management, PTSD from trauma (mental and physical), pre/post operative anxiety, sports injury recovery, amputations, auto and bike accidents.......hence the name of my business "Everyday Lymphatics"
Therapeutically applied to the skin to speed healing by slightly lifting skin which assists in directing lymph flow in a specific direction and in turn improves blood flow to injured area. Kinesio Tape also supports injured joints and muscles without impeding their range of motion. I've had great success using this tape on scars also. Kinesio Tape is latex-free, hypoallergenic and wearable for 3-5days and can get wet in shower.
