Massage and Lymphatic Drainage

Massage and Lymphatic Drainage

What is Massage and Lymphatic Drainage ?

Also known as manual lymphatic drainage massage, it is the procedure where light pressure is applied on your limbs or extremities to flush out the accumulated lymph. Lymph is that body fluid which does not contain red blood cells but helps to carry water to tissues and clear waste from the body. Massage directed towards the lymph nodes helps de-coagulate the lymphatic system. The procedure is done by first massaging the adjacent areas of the lymph nodes, which leads to clearing the path for the lymph coming from the nodes. Then the motions of the massage are focused in such a way that fluid is directed towards the lymph nodes, where the waste products are removed from lymphatic circulation.

  • Hemodialysis is a treatment to filter wastes and water from your blood, as your kidneys.
  • Did when they were healthy. Hemodialysis helps control blood pressure and balance.
  • Important minerals, such as potassium, sodium, and calcium, in your blood.
  • Hemodialysis can help you feel better and live longer, but it’s not a cure for kidney failure.
  • You may be able to do hemodialysis at home. Normally, hemodialysis begins well before your kidneys have shut down to the point of causing life-threatening complications.

How is it done?

  • Using circular, brushing or sweeping motions, the physiotherapist first massages the unaffected areas of the body, meaning the areas far from the lymph nodes.
  • They then move in a proximal to distal direction in slow, tuned movements. The physiotherapist may use a topical medication for better effects.
  • The areas surrounding the lymph nodes are massaged with slightly higher pressure to relax the node and increase its functionality.
  • There are many lymph nodes scattered throughout your body. They are in the neck region, in the calf region, abdomen and axilla.

Kinesiology and Kinetic Link Training

Kinesiology involves the use of a specific tape to relieve pain and facilitate lymph drainage, whereas kinetic link training is a biomechanics concept used to describe the movements of a human body. Simply put, the kinetic link is the movements produced in one joint as a result of the movements from another joint. This training is not only used in muscle-skeleton coordination but also sports therapy and neurological therapy.

Magnetic Therapy

It is a type of physiotherapy and pain management that takes advantage of the minuscule magnetic energy present in all cells of an individual’s body. When the magnetic field created by the magnetic therapy unit comes in contact or is placed near that of the human body, the human body’s cells and their disturbed magnetic fields align to that of the machine, thus, getting rid of the pain.
