Learn about the significance of lymphatic drainage massage, often referred to as lymph drainage therapy. This therapeutic technique not only promotes the health of your lymphatic system but also ensures its efficient functioning, crucial for immune response and fluid balance in the body.
The lymphatic system relies on muscle contractions and deep breathing to expel fluids and toxins from our body. However, lymphatic drainage massage also plays a crucial role in ensuring the system operates efficiently.
In the UK, lymphatic drainage is less commonly known, but it’s a specialised massage form that’s broadly utilised in Europe, the Far East and other global regions to enhance lymphatic flow.
When most refer to an “ordinary” massage, they’re typically thinking of aromatherapy, sports massage, Swedish massage, or some of the other more uniquely named massages found in today’s salons and spas.
In these conventional massages, the primary focus is on the muscles, necessitating deep techniques to access the muscular layer. In contrast, lymphatic drainage massage specifically targets the fragile lymphatic vessels and nodes situated just beneath the skin.
These require only the gentlest of pressures to facilitate fluid movement. Thus, if you’re grappling with issues like water retention, bloating, cellulite, or uneven skin tone, the conventional massage might not deliver the results you’re seeking.
“Lymphatic drainage is sometimes termed ‘massage’ because it involves hand movements on the skin but it is very different from therapeutic or aromatherapy massage which can cause friction to the skin and increase the blood supply. This, in turn, causes more lymph to be produced.”
Website of the Royal Marsden Hospital
Lymphatic drainage massage was introduced as a therapeutic technique in the 1930s by Dr Emil Vodder to address symptoms of sinusitis and persistent colds. He found that massaging the enlarged lymph nodes on his patients’ faces and necks significantly decongested the sinuses, reduced inflammation, and often alleviated headaches, migraines, and even facial blemishes.
He broadened his research on lymphatic drainage massage to encompass the entire body’s lymphatic vessels and organs, identifying both health and cosmetic benefits:
“A suboptimal lymph circulation compromises our defences, making us vulnerable to infections such as catarrh, chronic colds, sinusitis, sore throats, angina, etc. Regrettably, this congested state, often linked to deteriorating lymph circulation, adversely impacts one’s appearance. This underlies various cosmetic issues like swelling, redness, puffiness, eye bags, spots and more. A stagnant lymph flow can be disastrous for both health and beauty. It’s imperative to rejuvenate lymph circulation, and this is achieved with Manual Lymph Drainage.”
Dr Emil Vodder: Lymphatic drainage, a novel therapeutic technique, Paris 1936
Indeed!
Concerning manual lymphatic drainage massage, the ‘Vodder method’, pioneered by our dear Dr Emil Vodder, is regarded as the gold standard. However, the Casley-Smith and the Foldi-Leduc methods also exist.
The latter two are primarily used to address severe medical issues like lymphoedema, lipoedema, and fibrosis. Any manual lymphatic drainage massage offered in a cosmetic setting, like a salon, spa, or aesthetic clinic, will be grounded on the Vodder technique.
Traditionally, trained therapists have manually executed lymphatic drainage massage. They use gentle pressure and long, rhythmic strokes to boost the flow of the lymphatic fluid – ‘lymph’ – aiding the lymphatic system in expelling toxins and other detrimental waste from the body.
Body Ballancer® is an innovative lymphatic drainage device that eliminates the need for a skilled lymphatic drainage massage therapist. Instead, the Body Ballancer® employs clinically designed garments inflated with air to provide a robust, uniform, and effective lymphatic massage.
Moreover, it adheres to the proven principles of the Vodder method, using fluid compression strokes that gently operate from the base of the limb up to the torso – termed ‘distal to proximal’ – for efficient fluid decongestion in the treated area.
Your lymphatic system bolsters your immune system by eliminating toxins, shedding excess fluid, and facilitating the absorption of vitamins from your digestive tract.
Regrettably, due to factors like stress, illness, and an unhealthy lifestyle, the lymphatic system can become obstructed or overwhelmed.
While a balanced diet and consistent exercise are vital, lymphatic drainage massage has been established as a method to support your lymphatic system.
Given the lymphatic system’s role, lymphatic drainage massage – sometimes referred to as lymph drainage therapy – can offer numerous health, beauty, and fitness advantages, including:
Based on the body region undergoing treatment, you’ll be assisted into the Body Ballancer® trousers or jacket before resting comfortably on the treatment bed. The garments are then connected to a computer-controlled air-compression apparatus programmed to apply the precise pressure through all, or a combination of, the 24 interlapping air chambers.
Once the procedure commences, the garment’s gradual and gentle inflation delivers a seamless lymphatic drainage massage over the targeted region, ensuring a tranquil, pleasant, and soothing experience. After the procedure, you’ll step out feeling reinvigorated and refreshed.
This hinges on your specific reason for opting for the Body Ballancer® lymphatic drainage device.
For instance, if your aim is to alleviate bloating and puffiness resulting from water retention, a single session might yield discernible outcomes.
However, for objectives like cellulite reduction or skin tone enhancement, a series of treatments is likely necessary. We typically suggest 12 sessions spread over three to four weeks.
A Body Ballancer® lymphatic drainage massage can also augment the outcomes of treatments like liposculpture. One or two sessions leading up to the procedure day will stimulate lymphatic flow and clear excess fluid from the area.
Post-procedure, a sequence of four to six sessions can diminish bruising and swelling, letting you attain your desired body shape swifter and with minimal discomfort.
We generally advise wearing comfy attire such as leggings paired with socks for the lower body, or a soft, long-sleeved shirt for upper body treatments.
For sanitary reasons, direct skin contact is discouraged. If you’re receiving a Body Ballancer® lymphatic massage at a spa or clinic, they might provide disposable garments for you.
Lymphatic drainage massage is entirely safe. Nevertheless, we advise against using Body Ballancer® if you exhibit the following symptoms:
If you have any reservations about undergoing the treatment, it’s best to consult your doctor.
Slip into Body Ballancer’s patented inflating compression garments, lie back and enjoy a wonderfully relaxing or invigorating massage. The Body Ballancer® uses patent protected inflating compression garments to apply a gentle or firm massage.
Each garment contains 24 individual air chambers that overlap to apply fluent compression strokes that target every inch of the treated area.
This massage motion, with its specific direction of flow from the base of the limb to the torso, increases circulation and gently but thoroughly decongests the problem areas of hips, thighs, buttocks (Ballancer® pants) and upper arms (Ballancer® jacket).
The Body Ballancer® action accelerates the removal of waste products and excess fluid via the lymphatic system, reducing the appearance of cellulite, improving skin tone, and reducing volume in areas affected by excess fluid retention whilst Its gentle, rhythmic action promotes relaxation whilst boosting immune system function
