Medical Lymph Drainage

What is Medical Lymph Drainage?

Medical lymph drainage is a therapeutic method performed by specially trained specialists to support the lymphatic system to work more effectively. It is different from classical massage; it is applied with controlled and rhythmic techniques, taking into account certain anatomical lymph pathways.

This application is preferred as a supportive method in cases such as oedema, lymphoedema and postoperative fluid accumulation.

Lymphatic System and Medical Approach

The lymphatic system is an important circulatory network that removes excess fluid and waste materials accumulated between tissues from the body. When the system slows down

  • Regional swelling
  • Edema.
  • Feeling of stiffness
  • Tissue sensitivity

may occur.

Medical lymph drainage aims to support this circulation with techniques suitable for the direction of lymph flow.

How is Medical Lymph Drainage Applied?

The application can be done in two basic ways:

Manual Medical Lymph Drainage

It is applied by a specialist with superficial and rhythmic pressure techniques. It is not a deep tissue massage. The aim is to ensure the correct orientation of the lymph fluid.

Device Assisted Medical Lymph Drainage

Controlled pressure is applied by means of medical devices such as pressotherapy. This method is especially preferred in cases of widespread oedema.

Session duration usually varies between 30-60 minutes.
