Manual lymphatic drainage

Manual lymphatic drainage is performed using a series of gentle, rhythmic and repetitive movements that stimulate the flow of lymph through the lymphatic vessels and into the lymph nodes.

• Lymphatic drainage usually lasts no less than an hour. Depending on the patient’s needs.

The number of manual lymphatic drainage sessions varies according to the individual needs of each patient and is determined by the trained therapist. Typically, 1 to 5 sessions per week can be performed, depending on the severity of the problem and how the patient’s body responds to the therapy.
