Combat fluid retention with massage and lymphatic drainage

Combat fluid retention with massage and lymphatic drainage

Lymphatic drainage is a type of massage that attempts to drain fluids and toxins accumulated in the body by gently routing them to the nodes located in the groin, armpits and legs. Retention of these fluids contributes to increased cellulite and swelling. But, according to the massage therapist and beautician Marina Soares Fressato, this type of isolated procedure is not capable of producing aesthetic effects or reduction of measures. "I always advise marriage between lymphatic drainage and modeling massage, because one complements the work of the other."

The modeling procedure is more intense and repetitive. It activates blood circulation and, with the resulting heating, dilates vessels and provides greater permeability of the cell membrane. That is, fat cells become more soluble, there is increased fluidity of the body fluids, which facilitates the later work of lymphatic drainage.

According to Marina, the lymphatic system activates through movement: a very sedentary person , with excess localized fat, tends to hinder the lymphatic circulation and, therefore, is at greater risk of accumulating fluids and toxins that cause cellulite.

"When these toxic fluids are not drained and they stop, they start to condense, becoming viscous until they solidify.This pulls together the collagen and elastin fibers forming the famous holes in the skin, "explains the specialist. By combating cellulite, the skin becomes more hydrated and irrigated. In addition, massage helps in the functioning of the urinary and digestive system.

Drainage is also widely used to combat post-surgical swelling. However, it is contraindicated in people who have varicose or blood clotting problems, kidney disorders, infectious conditions, thrombosis, and tumors.

Pregnant women may benefit from the results of this procedure, but before making any decisions, consult a doctor to evaluate your condition.
