Lymphatic System Overview

So there are many mini vids out there on youtube and they can give you some great info... 

For all of you who have no idea about the lymphatic System here is a really good mini overview of the visual lymph system. 

The purpose of lymphatic drainage massage is to get the lymph fluid moving, unlike the blood, which has the heart to pump it around the body, the lymph relies on the movement of our muscles to move the lymph around. Any form of lymphatic massage is great to help assist this to happen. 

This type of massage is light and brush stroke like. the light pressure avoids compressing blood vessels, which can cause more fluid to enter the tissue. Stroking movements should be done in the direction of lymph flow.

Enjoy :)
