Nyirokmasszázs (nyirokdrenázs)
What is meant by it?
Lymphatic massage (lymph drainage) is a special type of massage, that improves lymphatic outflow; if used regularly, it prevents lymph stagnation in the tissues, stimulates the immune system, promotes removal of waste materials, thus facilitating regeneration of cells and tissues, decreasing susceptibility to inflammation, and promoting healing of existing wounds and inflammations.*
What types are there?
Lymphatic massage can be performed mechanically with a massage equipment, or manually, or by the combination of the two. Come and visit us, and we will find, after a status assessment, the therapeutic approach best suited to your condition!
