Why Lymphatic Drainage Is Effective for Physiotherapeutic Issues
Lymphatic drainage is particularly effective in treating swelling and edema. Through specialized massage techniques and gentle movements, lymphatic flow is stimulated, and tissue congestion is alleviated. This can help reduce swelling and support the lymphatic system.
Types of Edema: Primary Lymphedema and Secondary Lymphedema
Primary Lymphedema
This condition is more common in middle-aged women. It is caused by inherent weakness in the veins due to weaker connective tissue, leading to stagnation in the extremities.
Secondary Lymphedema
This type of edema is caused by external factors, typically following surgery or an injury. In such cases, lymphatic vessels may be damaged or severed, disrupting the natural flow. Acute edema often occurs as a result. When the usual physiological pathway is compromised, the therapist will redirect lymph fluid through an alternative route. Lymphatic vessels usually regenerate after injury, although scar tissue can sometimes act as a barrier, delaying the process. Chronic lymphatic problems can occur when one or more lymph nodes are removed. Regular manual lymphatic drainage treatments can help alleviate the feeling of congestion.
Indications for Lymphatic Drainage: When Is It Recommended?
Lymphatic drainage is recommended for various conditions. It can be used to address swelling and edema following injuries, surgeries, or chronic illnesses. Examples include lymph node removal for breast cancer or swelling in the extremities during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. Lymphatic drainage can also be an effective therapy for lymphatic disorders such as lymphedema. Our physiotherapists can provide guidance on whether lymphatic drainage is recommended for your specific condition.
