Lymphatic drainage in physitania physiotherapy.
Natural treatment for your well-being.
Manual lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic technique that stimulates the flow of lymph, favoring the elimination of toxins, the reduction of edema and the improvement of circulation. At Fisitania Physiotherapy, our expert physiotherapists apply this treatment using gentle and precise movements to ensure an effective and discomfort-free recovery.
How does lymphatic drainage work?
This treatment has two essential phases:
- Compensation: A soft pressure vacuum is created in key areas such as the supraclavicular, armpit and inside of the elbows, to facilitate lymphatic flow.
- Reabsorption: The mobilized fluids are absorbed into the lymphatic system, favoring the elimination of toxins and reducing inflammation.
