Manual Lymph Drainage Massage For Detox And Weight Loss. A few months ago, I experienced the most unusual massage that didn’t feel like a massage. Instead of the typical pressing, rubbing and kneading, the lightest and gentlest rhythmic hand movements were used on my body to stimulate my lymphatic vessels, supposedly increasing the flow of metabolic waste as well as excess fluid and bacteria. Known as Dr Vodder’s Manual Lymph Drainage (because the therapy was developed in the 1. Emil Vodder), this is a special type of massage that was first created to reduce swelling from lymphoedema.

In fact, this massage is so gentle, slow and rhythmic, I find it hard pressed to call it a massage.
Not only that, I have to confess I found it very difficult to write this review. First, the topic is a tad boring for me because this is the first time I am discussing a massage technique. Seriously, who is interested to know such details?
Second, there are no pictures I can use to blog about this and that’s a huge deterrent for me because no pictures means no visual attention. Finally, the massage was so soothing, I snoozed through the session. So I really am stuck for words to describe my experience. However, I also have to admit I was very impressed with the treatment.

First off, the proper functioning of the lymphatic system is critical to our body’s ability to drain fluids, detoxify, regenerate tissues, filter out toxins and foreign substances, and maintain a healthy immune system.

I should mention that YY is supermodel tall so it is not an easy task for her to provide such a treatment considering she has to bend half the time to reach the spa bed.
I’m sure it was quite back breaking for her. This is why I said what I said: MLD takes love and patience of the therapist to another level.
Anyway, as the treatment was a few months ago and I was snoozing half the time, I cannot remember too much details now. But I recalled being asked to breathe deeply as lymphatic drainage should be used in combination with deep breathing exercises before and after the massage. Other than that, I also remembered receiving very light stroking on my body. There were certainly no pressure and no pain.
