Blocked lymph nodes are the cause of continual colds, infections, flu, and other common symptoms. Unnecessary fluid is trapped in our bodies, which needs help getting out.

This suggests that symptoms such as frequent colds, infections, and flu may indicate a blocked lymphatic system, as described by Dr Emil Vodder’s findings in the 1930s.

The following signs may indicate an obstruction or malfunction in your lymphatic system:

• Joint pain: Some joint pains or stiffness can be associated with lymphatic issues.

• Swelling: Swelling (lymphedema) in your arm, leg, etc., when there is no apparent reason for this swelling to occur.

• Skin changes: Your skin may become thickened or hardened, feeling tight and uncomfortable.

• Repeated Infections: Due to the compromised immune response caused by poor functioning of the lymphatic system, you may find yourself getting sick frequently.

• Tiredness: If you remain tired even after resting, it may be a sign of a problem with your lymphatic system.

• Digestive problems: Bloating or indigestion may be related to lymphatic function during digestion.

• Cold extremities: If you experience coldness in your arm or leg, it may be because your lymph isn’t flowing correctly through the affected area.

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s recommended to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and guidance.

Manual lymphatic drainage is frequently recommended as an adjunctive treatment to aid in post-surgical recovery, to help in the reduction of swelling/fluid retention, and is also helpful for people experiencing:

• Swelling after surgery and in the postoperative period

• Fluid retention in the legs, ankles, and abdomen

• Water retention resulting from lifestyle, stress, etc., or hormone fluctuations

• People wanting to achieve gentle body contouring/sculpting effects through drainage massages

Because manual lymphatic drainage massage is gentle and non-invasive, it is a viable option for reducing swelling and supporting the body’s natural detoxification processes while receiving medical treatment. Manual lymphatic drainage can help promote the flow of lymphatic fluid throughout the body and can be particularly helpful when the lymphatic system is impaired.

Manual lymphatic drainage treatment is available to a wide range of clients and is beneficial for treating various conditions. Lymphatic drainage may benefit individuals experiencing:

• Bloating/digestive sluggishness

• Fluid retention or swelling/bloat

• Lymphedema and/or other lymphatic issues

• Low energy/frequent illnesses/heavy feeling in the limbs

• Swelling after surgery and during post-operative recovery

Lymphatic drainage massage is an excellent addition to other body treatments offered in London. When combined with therapeutic or deep tissue massage, manual lymphatic drainage provides additional support to the muscles, facilitating recovery and reducing stiffness.

For more detailed information on how deeper techniques may work together with manual lymphatic drainage, please refer to our article detailing how deep tissue massage reduces deep muscle tension.

Manual lymphatic drainage positively affects skin health by enhancing the circulation of white blood cells and promoting lymph flow, which removes harmful toxins from the body. The lymphatic system defends the skin and body from infections, acting like a “garbage collection service” that clears dead cells and plasma. This process supports detoxification, reduces inflammation, and can improve conditions such as sinus problems, weight loss, and a faulty immune system, contributing to overall skin health and physical appearance.

To detoxify and heal the lymphatic system:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of alkaline water to support lymph flow.

• Exercise: Engage in light activities, such as walking or yoga, to stimulate circulation.

• Diet: Eat anti-inflammatory foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats; avoid processed foods.

• Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): Seek a qualified therapist for MLD massage to enhance drainage.

• Dry Brushing: Use a dry brush to stimulate lymph flow before showering.

• Deep Breathing: Practice diaphragmatic breathing to promote lymph movement.

Factors such as what caused the swelling (the type of swelling), how much swelling exists and whether or not you have had surgery will determine how many times per week you can have Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD). Your lymphatic therapist will typically advise the frequency of treatment based upon your specific needs and/or recommendations.

When selecting a location for lymphatic drainage in London, there are many things to consider. At Massaggi, we offer several factors that make us an excellent option for your subsequent lymphatic drainage treatment. These include:

• Trained therapists to perform all lymphatic drainage treatments
• Conveniently located clinic in central London to enable easy access from all areas of London
• Treatment plans that take into account your personal objectives (detox, post-surgery support, etc.)
• Massage treatments that combine the use of massage therapy, natural detoxification and promote overall health and well-being

At Massaggi, we believe that treating the lymphatic system is an ongoing process and therefore do not limit ourselves to one treatment. We provide education on how the lymphatic system functions and how various aspects of lifestyle (stress, movement) affect lymphatic flow. On occasion, you should read educational materials (e.g., articles) to improve your overall health and wellness by providing the knowledge necessary to develop better habits for maintaining optimal physical function. For example, an article regarding how to avoid injury during marathon running using sports massage or an article about how to assist your body in digesting food properly through the use of abdominal massage.

The following are what you can anticipate about your manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) therapy:

1. Warm Welcome & Consultation (10 minutes)During your MLD therapy session, you’ll be in a warm and relaxing therapy room. A qualified therapist will apply light pressure and glide gentle strokes, stimulating your lymphatic system and leaving you feeling soothed and relaxed.

2. The Gentle Flow: Hands-On Therapy (60 minutes). Areas of interest for the therapist: The therapist will likely focus on the regions with fluid accumulation related to your symptoms. These areas typically include the arms, legs, midsection, and face. Therapy session length: Most MLD therapy sessions last about 60 minutes, which allows the therapist to relax and activate your lymphatic system.

3. Wind-Down & Aftercare Chat (5-10 minutes). Before and after your MLD sessions, your therapist may recommend hydrating to help eliminate toxins through urine. They may also suggest post-session activities to help you retain what you learned, such as drinking water, getting rest, and following personal care routines you feel comfortable with.

While manual lymphatic drainage massage is generally performed manually, some massage treatments in London may use some simple tools and techniques, such as:

• Gua sha – a tool used for light scraping on specific areas to help stimulate lymphatic flow.
• Brazilian lymphatic drainage: patterns for body shaping and sculpting.
• Special sequences of gentle strokes to follow the lymphatic vessels to help stimulate lymphatic flow.

At Massaggi, massage incorporates carefully developed rhythmic techniques to stimulate the lymphatic system, which removes waste from the body. Unlike working against your body’s natural detoxification processes, we focus on safe and long-term wellness for each client.
