Lymphatic Drainage Massage in Kiev Wellness International

Lymph is a particular kind of connective body tissue looking like a viscous transparent liquid. Its function is to transfer molecules of proteins, organic derivatives, toxic substances and various metabolites from muscle tissues into the blood.

Carrying out the role of a certain barrier, the lymphatic system acts as a part of the immune system, which prevents penetration of microbes and viruses into the body. In case of malfunctioning of the lymph, the whole organism is disrupted. This can be expressed in puffiness, general weakness, flabbiness of the skin and other symptoms.

Lymphatic drainage massage produces activating effect on the lymphatic system and allows to get rid of lymph stagnation issues. This method can affect the skin of the face, legs, hips, back, etc.

Lymphatic drainage therapy has appeared relatively recently and is a unique massage technique. Doctor Pascal Kosh from France created this type of massage in the middle of the 20th century as a way to relieve swelling after surgery. He realized that the timely made lymphatic drainage massage eliminates issues associated with post-surgery edema.
