Our lymphatic systems are an integral part of our circulatory system. Think of it as the sidewalks that line our roads; when your taxi is stuck in gridlock you might just get out and walk. While obviously it is more complex than that, a poorly functioning lymphatic system definitely adds stress to our circulatory system and heart. A tried and tested technique used for centuries that is non-invasive and painless but requires the skilled hands of trained professionals can be administered to help alleviate a backed-up lymphatic system. Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a very specific type of massage with various strokes in very specific directions that helps get the fluids of our body flowing properly again.

Typically speaking, your lymphatic system collects your lymph and returns it to your heart through a network of lymph vessels and lymph nodes.
