Your lymphatic system helps eliminate your body’s waste.

A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of smooth muscle tissue to do this.

However, surgery, medical conditions, or other damage can cause fluids to build up in your lymph system and your lymph nodes, a condition known as lymphedema.

If you’ve ever had a surgery on or involving your lymph nodes, your doctor may have suggested lymphatic drainage massage performed.

To move waste fluids away from the damaged area, lymphatic massage, which uses a gentle pressure, can help. It’s one technique used to reduce lymphedema, helping you feel more relieved by loosening your tight skin tissues, and draining out all your excess fluids through your lymphatic system,

which would be eliminated through your urine system naturally.

​

Also, drink water. Well-hydrated tissue helps moves out waste materials and helps you not only drain more fluids, but help each massage go smoother.

​

Managing your lymphedema can also include:

• using a compression sleeve to prevent fluid buildup

• drinking lots of water in before, after and in between your appointments

​

​

Lymphatic massage is not recommended for people with the following conditions:

• congestive heart failure

• history of blood clots or stroke

• current infection

• liver problems

• kidney problems
