What is Manual Lymphatic Drainage?
Aimee has been trained with the Dr Vodder Method of Manual Lymph Drainage. This is a gentle, non-invasive rhythmic massage technique that can have profound effects throughout the body. It is a completely different type of massage therapy in comparison to Swedish or deep tissue massage and has the main goal of working specifically on the lymphatic system. It uses a gentle sequencing technique that follows the direction of lymph flow back to the heart. The rhythmic pumping technique has a calming and relaxing effect on the nervous system.
