It is one of the tools (a BIG one I would say!) in Lymphatic Health & Immunity¹

Lymphatic drainage massage is gaining in popularity as people become increasingly aware of the body’s natural ability to heal.

This specialised massage technique aims to stimulate the lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing waste and toxins from the body. Here are some potential benefits of lymphatic drainage massage²:

1. Detoxification: By promoting the flow of lymphatic fluid, lymphatic drainage massage helps to eliminate toxins, excess fluids, and waste products from the body. This can improve overall detoxification and support the immune system.
2. Boosted immune function: The lymphatic system plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response by carrying lymphocytes, which are key cells involved in fighting infections and diseases. Lymphatic drainage massage can enhance the functioning of the lymphatic system, thereby supporting immune function.
3. Reduced oedema and swelling: Lymphatic drainage massage can be particularly effective in reducing oedema (swelling) caused by conditions such as lymphedema, post-surgical swelling, or water retention. The massage technique helps to move excess fluid away from the affected area and improve lymphatic circulation.
4. Improved recovery from injuries or surgeries: By reducing swelling, lymphatic drainage massage can facilitate faster healing and recovery from injuries or surgeries. It can help minimise scar tissue formation and promote tissue regeneration.
5. Enhanced skin health: Lymphatic drainage massage can improve the health and appearance of the skin. By eliminating toxins and excess fluids, it can help reduce puffiness, acne, and other skin conditions. Additionally, improved lymphatic circulation can enhance the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells, promoting a healthy complexion, it may also help reduce cellulite so it also plays an important role on
6. Relaxation and stress reduction: Like other forms of massage, lymphatic drainage massage can promote relaxation, reduce stress, and induce a sense of well-being. The gentle, rhythmic movements used in the massage technique can help calm the nervous system and encourage deep relaxation.

Many people have reported that it also helps them feel emotionally relaxed and peaceful. It can help improve overall health and wellbeing, making it a powerful tool in a holistic health routine.

Remedial massage is an ancient holistic healing practice that combines a comprehensive assessment of physiological problems and bespoke treatment of muscles, tendons, connective tissues and ligaments to enable a natural rehabilitation of the body, alleviation of pain and repair of injuries.

A certified and experienced remedial massage therapist can take your healing experience way beyond the realms of physiological repair and rejuvenation and enable you to achieve mental and spiritual well being too. In doing so, the professional must make a series of physical assessments such as functional muscle testing, motion testing and special orthopaedic examinations in order to draw out a customised treatment plan that works for you and your body!

Difference between Remedial and ‘Other Standard Massage’ Types

At some point of time in our lives, all of us have indulged in some ‘standard massage’ or the other to give our body some TLC – whether a Thai massage to stimulate the acupuncture points in the body, a relaxing Swedish massage to release tension or a lavish aromatherapy massage to feel pampered.

Remedial massage, as the name suggests, is used to treat sprains, strains, bruises, broken bones as well as any injury where your skin is intact. Remedial massages are generally deep tissue massages that remove blockages, damaged cells, scarred tissues and adhesions remaining post injury. They quicken your body’s recovery time and facilitate holistic healing by improving the flow of blood and lymph and the release of toxins from injured areas. They also make your body more flexible and help you feel fit, fresh and ready to go!

Some of the most common conditions that can be completely cured with a few sessions of remedial massage include:

• Stiff necks
• Back aches
• Headaches
• Sciatica
• Carpal tunnels
• Arthritis
• Rheumatism
• Fibrositis
• Fibromyalgia
• Sports injuries
• Pain and swelling
• Circulatory problems
• Stress and anxiety
• Asthma and breathing problems

Plus more…

So, it won’t be an exaggeration to say that a remedial massage offers combined benefits of all forms of massages – whether you’re looking to de-stress, release tension and anxiety, repair an injury, alleviate chronic joint or muscular pain or calm your body and mind after long work hours.

And it’s definitely worth it! You’re welcome to make an online booking, or get in touch for more information.

Here are some tips for using essential oils to increase your vibration:

1. Choose the right oils: Choosing the right essential oils is important in achieving the desired vibratory effect. Oils such as lavender, sandalwood, frankincense, ylang ylang, and jasmine are all known for their calming and uplifting properties. All essential oils are high in frequency but some are higher than others. Rose oil has the highest frequency at 320 MHz, frankincense has 147 MHz, lavender has 118 MHz, myrrh has 105 MHz, peppermint has 78 MHz and so on.
2. Dilute appropriately: Essential oils should be diluted in a carrier oil such as jojoba or coconut oil before applying them to the skin. This is to prevent skin irritation and further increase the vibrational effect of the oils.
3. Diffuse in a room: Diffusing essential oils in a room can help to create a relaxing and uplifting atmosphere that can increase your vibration and overall wellbeing.
4. Inhale directly: You can also inhale essential oils directly from the bottle or an essential oil inhaler for a more
