In Home Private Massage Therapist
Lymph drainage massage or LDM is a popular massage. It is a specialized technique offered by a licensed massage therapist in Orlando, Florida. This approach focuses on a key area in the immune system, the lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage has many benefits for your health. It aims to restore efficient blood circulation, immune functions, and body-fluid balance.
LDM is often used for people experiencing lymph edema. This is a form of swelling that occurs in one of the arms or legs. It is caused by a build-up of lymph fluid in the soft tissues. Lymph edema may be caused by cancer treatment, surgery, injury, genetic disorders, or infection.
Benefits of in-home licensed private massage therapist for LDM in The Villages, FL
Lymphedema is treated with compression stockings or bandages. However, a massage will offer more benefits. For instance, if you have a mastectomy and experience lymph edema, a LDM will help to minimize the post-surgical symptoms.
Similarly, people with rheumatoid arthritis experience poor lymphatic flow as their condition worsens. The pain within the joints increases along with tissue swelling. A lymph drainage massage by a licensed massage therapist in The Villages, Florida can ease these symptoms.
What to expect during a Lymph Drainage Massage?
The therapist will use a series of techniques in a sequence including gliding, compressing, stretching, and cupping motions. Delicate rhythmic movements invigorate the lymphatic system. It causes the fluids in the lymph nodes to move towards the tissues.
Types of LDM
A massage therapist may use any of the four types of LDM massages. These are:
- Vodder. A foundational technique that uses several sweeping actions around the affected area.
- -Foldi. This method builds on the Vodder technique. The therapist alternates between movements of relaxation and circular hand movements.
- Leduc. In this method, the therapist uses hand motions to gather all the lymph fluid in one area before redirecting into the bigger lymphatic system.
- Casley-Smith. Using circular hand motions with the palms, the therapist massages the affected areas.
All these methods focus on the principle of using gentle movements to relax and stretch the skin to encourage lymph flow. A lymph drainage massage may last from fifteen to sixty minutes depending on the severity of the health issue.
