I have been training clients and sharing a PDF of how to open the major lymph drainage centers via the foot for years. I’ve been saying that I need to create a video to compliment the training and here it is!
The lymphatic system works with your immune system to fight disease and infection. When the lymphatic system doesn’t function properly, fluid can build up and cause swelling. It can also be damaged from injury, surgery, trauma, radiation, or other medical conditions. Lymphatic drainage can help reduce the swelling and make it easier for the lymph nodes to get rid of toxins like bacteria, virus, fungus, and cancers.
Normally your body filters and processes around 3 liters of fluid through the lymph nodes, returning it to the blood stream via the venous angle. A lymphatic drainage massage can increase the lymph flow by as much as 20 times. Opening the lymph points in your body in between sessions can help with its flow.
