Lymph Drainage Therapy supports the proper movement of lymph through the body.


Lymph Drainage techniques  are a gentle and efficient hands-on technique.  Developed by French physician Bruno Chikly, LDT is among the most scientifically documented, gentle and efficient hands-on therapeutic tools practiced today.  It is a very unique approach to promoting health.  

The Lymphatic System is very important to good health. This system drains fluids, detoxifies and regenerates tissues, filters out toxins and foreign substances and helps us maintain a healthy immune system.

If lymph circulation stagnates however, toxins accumulate which can help create inflammation and irritation to muscle tissues causing pain and muscle spasm. 

Practitioners of LDT learn how to “manually attune the specific rhythm, pressure, quality and direction of the lymph flow by using precise hand techniques.” This allows the practitioner to restore the normal flow of fluids from the tissues to the circulatory system. 

Contraindications of LDT include: acute infectious/early onset inflammatory disease and fever, serious circulatory problems such as thrombosis, major cardiac problems including acute angina pectoris and coronary thrombosis (heart attack), hemorrhage (bleeding) and active-cancer patients if the tumor has not been removed and is not under medical control.
