If you’re looking for the best way to prepare for or recover from surgery, a lymphatic massage is the perfect option. This massage is essential in accelerating the recovery process, as bed rest and minimal activity only go so far. In this article, we will discuss what the lymphatic system is, what lymphatic drainage massage is, and how it can benefit you before and after surgery.

The lymphatic system plays a vital role in maintaining the body’s fluid levels, supporting the immune system, and promoting blood circulation. It carries clear fluid called lymph throughout the body, which contains fat cells, waste, and other substances that are filtered through the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system eliminates toxins and waste from body tissues and promotes healthy functioning of the body.

Lymphatic drainage massage is a gentle technique that involves stimulating lymph flow throughout the body. The massages help the body get rid of excess fluids and restore immune system body function. These massages target areas with swelling and help with other systemic conditions requiring fluid movement and the elimination of toxins and waste. The massage is performed manually by a licensed massage therapist using a specific technique to push the lymph throughout the body.
