Manual Lymph Drainage is a gentle technique to help improve the activity, by focusing on the affected (swollen) areas such as the hands, arms, legs or whole body.

Its a muscle knot or a very tender point in the body. Trigger points are the primary cause of pain in the body, about 75% of the time. It affects a muscle by keeping it both tight and weak. The pain they cause can be local or can radiate to broader areas, distant from the trigger point itself. (ie. Headaches extending from back of the head to the eye and forehead are usually caused by trigger points on the suboccipital area, or base of head.) Trigger points get treated by first locating the knot in the muscle and then using several thumb and finger techniques with various pressure on and around the trigger point until the buildup of the knot is broken. Therapeutic Massage concentrates on the problem areas. Treating several conditions: Whiplash, frozen shoulder, stiff neck, back, hip, knee pain, migraine headaches, tennis/golfers elbow, plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, etc. Deep Tissue Massage is a full body massage that focuses on the deeper layers of muscle.

It can also reduce recovery time, prevent muscle soreness and stiffness, and alleviate pain.
