The lymphatic system is a fascinating pump system in our body that helps remove interstitial waste from our tissues and rid it from the body. This system can be compromised in people who have had surgeries where the lymph nodes are affected (mastectomy, lymphadenectomies, radiation) therefore causing excessive swelling or lymph fluid retention. Lymphatic drainage therapy is a light pressure modality in which the lymph nodes and vessels are stimulated to promote their pumping function and support proper circulation and movement of the lymph.
