Lymph Drainage

Manual Lymph Drainage is a therapy form of physical application and has a broad effect. For example, its used as drainage therapy for swollen extremities and body parts, which can occur after surgery of the lower abdomen and of breast cancer.

By applying circular movements with light pressure the liquid is shifted from the tissue into the lymph system. Manual Lymph Drainage mainly has an effect on the top and lower layer of the skin and is not supposed to increase the circulation of the blood like a classical massage. Further indications are all orthopedic and traumatic illnesses which are accompanied by swelling (dislocations, sprains, pulled or torn muscles). Also with burnings, trauma, “Sudeck“ and similar deseases the right application of manual Lymph Drainage acc. to Dr. Vodder leads to a fast therapy success. For curbing pain and too, before and after surgery it does good service to drain the swollen tissue.

The patient feels a distinct relief, less painkillers have to be taken and the healing process goes on faster.

Lymph Drainage is a therapy clearly privileged in Germany and Austria. Even in USA this therapy is relatively unknown. Several times there were attempts to achieve similar success with machines, but the efficiency of these machines is way lower than the use of manual Lymph Drainage.
