What is Lymphatic Drainage?
Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle, specialized massage technique designed to support the natural movement of lymph fluid throughout the body. At Relax & Renew Massage Therapy in Cambridge, Ontario, lymphatic drainage massage is provided by a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and is used to help reduce swelling, support healthy circulation, and promote overall wellness.
The lymphatic system plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance and supporting immune function. When lymph flow becomes sluggish, fluid can accumulate in tissues, contributing to swelling, feelings of heaviness, and discomfort. Lymphatic drainage massage uses light, rhythmic movements to encourage the movement of lymph fluid toward the body's lymph nodes, where it can be filtered and processed naturally.
