Lymphatic Drainage

Lymphatic Drainage – What is it?

Lymphatic drainage is all about detoxifying the body and stimulating the immune system, to help fight infection and promote healing. Often known as manual lymphatic drainage, the procedure includes gentle, full-body massage movements. The goal is to drain the excess fluids from the tissues containing wastes and toxins and as a result, give a boost to the immune system.

 

WHAT IS THE LYMPHATIC SYSTEM?

Just like the circulatory system, the lymphatic system is a broad network of vessels, tissues, and organs that work together and transport a watery, colorless fluid (lymph) back into the bloodstream. A total of 20 liters of plasma crosses the blood vessels in one day supplying blood on the way. In return, the veins collect the wastes (almost 17 liters) from the organs. The three liters that are left seep into the body tissues via capillaries. Often health conditions like lymphedema lead to the build-up of lymph. That’s where lymphatic drainage massage comes to the rescue.

Being part of the immune system, the lymphatic system performs many key functions in the body such as protection against infections and diseases, maintenance of fluid levels in the body, and absorption of fats from the digestive tract along with the removal of wastes and abnormal cells from lymph.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THE LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?

The benefits are numerous and have been backed by studies. Here are the top three benefits:

Rheumatoid Arthritis:
With the progression of this disease, lymph flow becomes poor. Swelling in tissues occurs with the progress of the disease, pain increases in the joints, and function decreases. With lymph drainage massage, these symptoms subside and become easy to manage.

Chronic Venous Insufficiency: The valves of the veins in the legs become hard and work inefficiently. This condition is known as Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI) and is associated with the disruption in blood flow to the legs. Lymphatic drainage helps in resolving this problem by improving blood flow.

Fibromyalgia: In this condition, inflammation of skin nerves occurs along with tissue swelling and discoloration of the skin. Lymphatic drainage helps in improving the quality of life of people living with this condition.

 

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM A SESSION?

During this massage, the therapist will focus on the body areas having main lymph nodes which are the groin, armpits, and neck. Light pressure along with long strokes will be applied to get the lymph flowing. One massage session lasts from 1.5 hours to 2 hours.

Infant Massage

Infant Massage – What is it?

Infant massage is a process of rhythmic stroking and rubbing of an infant’s muscles in a specifically designed way. It is a traditional process in some societies which is becoming a global practice nowadays. When a child is born, midwives are responsible for massage and soothing the baby. Later on, this process is repeated by the mother, father, grandparents, and/or guardian.

What are the benefits of this massage?

There are physical and psychological benefits of providing infant massage to your newborn that must be known by each parent.

It builds a strong bond between the parent and the baby. Parents can understand their baby’s non-verbal cues in a better way while giving them a massage.

The massage calms, soothes, reduces crying, and relaxes a baby. It also helps in developing a sense of security and comfort. This makes the baby sleep longer and deeper.

It improves the texture and condition of the skin. It improves the circulation of blood in the body and increases the flow of oxygen.

Recurrent and professionally conducted baby massage develops and strengthens the immune system. It also assists in the removal of waste materials from the body efficiently.

It reduces the occurrence of different diseases like cold, cough, infection of the ear and nose.

The circular massage done on the tummy of babies relieves them from colic pain and gas buildups (which aids digestion).

Infant massage therapy, when conducted by professional Infant Massage Therapists, has proven effective in managing chronic conditions like asthma, myalgia, nausea, and constipation.

Infant Massage Therapists also claim that highly professional massage can produce endorphin in babies which leads to a reduction in stress.

 

What should I expect from an Infant Massage session?

In a session with the therapist, the most important learning would be the baby language and signs that help you communicate with an infant. Establishing eye-to-eye contact, exchanging a smile, and gibbering, are basic steps. These steps help establish a bond with the baby and helps to ensure a perfect massage. By undergoing an Infant Massage Session, parents learn the technique of giving a listening touch to the baby. This technique is promoted by Teresa Kirkpatrick Ramsey (the founder of “Baby’s First Massage” in Ohio).

Therapists endeavor to develop the understanding of parents on methods of touch, feel, and observations when massaging an infant. Infant Massage Therapy sessions will enable parents to learn the basics of Infant Massage. The sessions will demonstrate ways of stroking and handling the baby massage, learning about the skin of babies, and the beneficial oils for the massage. Parents will need to be flexible in selecting the time of the day when the baby will be more receptive to the massage, i.e., when they emanate signs of happiness and acceptance. This can be any time of the day or a night.

Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy – What is it?

Massage therapy (a centuries-old ritual) is one of the earliest pain-relieving treatments. It has been practiced in both the Eastern and Western parts of the world.

When talking about ways to relax your mind and body, massage is one of the foremost ideas that pop into the mind. But the message is not meant for muscle relaxation only as it has several other therapeutic benefits as well.

Let’s delve into what is massage, benefits of massage, and various massage therapies that help you in different ways!

 

WHAT IS MASSAGE AND WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?

Massage in literal terms is defined as “systematic manipulation of the soft tissues of the body by a certified trained massage therapist using varying degrees of pressure and movement done with hands”.

Massage is all about applying pressure on the soft tissues of the body like muscles, skin, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues using different techniques like gliding, stroking, kneading soft tissues, etc.

As a result, the circulation and blood flow are increased in these soft tissues resulting in instant relaxation. This is why massage therapy is now being recommended to patients suffering from heart ailments and cancer alongside standard treatments.

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MASSAGE?

Here are the top four benefits of massage that you would like to know:

1- Relieving Anxiety:

Massage works great for those who are suffering from anxiety. The human nervous system is divided into two parts; sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic nervous system is activated in times of stress and fear and puts the body into a state of flight or fight. While the parasympathetic nervous system does the exact opposite i.e. relaxing and calming your mind and body. In people with an anxiety disorder, the sympathetic nervous system is heightened. So, naturally, massage works as a counteractive for them and helps in decreasing their anxiety levels. Studies have shown that benefits of massage therapy includes long-term effects on anxiety, which last up to 18 months.

 

2- A Sound Sleep:

In today’s times where, sound sleep has become a luxurious treat for many of us owing to the busy schedules and daily grinds, massage therapy is the light at the end of the tunnel. For people who suffer from insomnia or face trouble falling asleep at night, massage helps you to enjoy a sound slumber.

Sleep has a lot to do with the nervous activity occurring inside the brain. Thinking about the next day’s chores or the pile of pending office work, your brain does not relax even when it should. That’s why you can’t go into a deep sleep and wake up with aching or tired muscles the next day. The cycle goes on and ultimately leads to burnout. Our bodies require a deep sleep at the end of the day to rejuvenate or in more common terms to restore from tiredness, pains, or any trauma.

To enjoy a stress-free sleep at the end of the day, you must try massage therapy as it helps your nervous system to slow down. Moreover, nothing works more for the aching muscles than the massage itself. Thus, calling a massage a double treat won’t be wrong.

 

3- Say Bye-Bye to Fatigue

As much as we don’t like to feel it, fatigue has become a part of our daily lives. There are so many reasons that cause persistent fatigue like overworking, inconsistent sleep, poor diet, or some disease. But the solution to all types of fatigue is undoubtedly the most relaxing therapy known as “massage”. Your aching and tired muscles being massaged is the only thing you would like at the end of the day.

The effect of massage on reducing fatigue has been backed up by studies as well. In 2018, a study was carried out on patients with breast cancer by Dr. Rapport. The study showed a remarkable reduction in the fatigue levels of patients. If you suffer from fatigue as well, try getting a massage every week and see the difference yourself.

 

4- Boost your Focus

Our minds are constantly occupied due to which we experience a lack of focus in the present moment. Either we are stuck in the past thoughts or we are thinking about the future while trying to be in the present moment. Oftentimes, we cannot focus because of the anxiety and associated symptoms like increased heart rate or nausea. In order to improve your focus, massage can be of great help as it slows down your heart rate and helps you stay relaxed for longer periods of time.

Lava Shell Massage – What is it?

Lava Shell Massage is a heat treatment used for relaxation. For this treatment, striped Tiger Clam shells are used as a massage tool. Lava shells are considered the world's first self-heating massage tool. This treatment is an eco-friendly treatment. Previously, long clam shells were disposed of and considered useless.

These bags contain algae, dried sea kelp, and minerals. An activator liquid is then added to create a chemical reaction, during which heat is produced, (which can last up to two hours).

The lava shell massage therapist uses different oils to moisturize the skin during the massage. They press different sides of the shell on key body parts to relax the muscles. For example, the knob is used on the back to break tight knots. Gentle pressure is applied by smooth sides on calves and arms, while the narrow edge is ideal for releasing the tension in shoulders blades or between the toes.
