Follow the three stages of clearing in the supraclavicular area, the axillary area, and the inner-elbow area, in that order. This ensures that the system is clear to allow fluid to drain up. Use light pressure. If you can feel the muscles underneath your skin, you are pressing too hard. Begin the leg massage at the furthest point away from the injury or affected area and work your way down. For example, if your ankle has swelling, start the massage on the upper part of the leg.

Starting at the top of the leg, put one hand on the inside of the leg and the other on the back of your leg. With gentle pressure, stretch the skin from the inside of your leg up and out, toward your hip. Continue this motion down the leg until you reach the knee.

When you reach the knee, stretch the skin up, with alternating hands, toward your armpit. Repeat 10 to 15 times. You have now completed the clearing step of the lymphatic massage. A guide to reabsorption The second part of lymphatic massage is reabsorption. To perform this stage of massage: Begin at the affected part of the body farthest from the core of the body.

For example, begin at the tips of the fingers if you have lymphedema in your hand, arm, and shoulder. Using a gentle, sweeping motion with just enough pressure to shift the surface of the skin, massage from fingertip to hand, from hand to elbow, and from elbow to shoulder. Pump the back of the knee with a rolling, upward motion 10 to 15 times.

Your knee is now ready to take in fluid from the lower leg, so you can proceed to massaging the lower legs: Put one hand on the top of the shin and the other behind the leg. Stretch the skin in an upward motion, then release it. Continue down toward the ankle area. Repeat down through the ankle and feet, always stroking upward. A healthy, active lymphatic system uses the natural movements of smooth muscle tissue to do this.

However, surgery, medical conditions, or other damage can cause fluids to build up in your lymph system and your lymph nodes, a condition known as lymphedema. For example, if you have lymph nodes removed as a part of cancer surgery to your left breast, only your left arm, not your right, might be affected with lymphedema. Lymphedema can also occur as a result of an injury or medical conditions such as congestive heart failure CHF or blood clots in the body.

To move waste fluids away from the damaged area, lymphatic massage, which uses a gentle pressure, can help. Fluid build-up is uncomfortable and causes pain and heaviness in the affected area. The entire lymphatic system of the body, except the head, right side of the chest, and right arm, drains near the left shoulder.

So, a massage should include all areas to drain properly. Patel teaches two stages of lymphatic massage: clearing and reabsorption. The purpose of clearing is to create a vacuum with gentle pressure so that the area is prepared to bring in more fluid, creating a flushing effect.

Clearing motions can be repeated as many as 10 times a day. There are three stages to clearing. Be sure to clear the supraclavicular area, axillary area, and inner-elbow area, in that order. Only very gentle pressure is required. The goal of lymphatic massage on the legs is to open the lymphatic vessels to let excess fluid drain back up into the lymph nodes located in the groin. There are different techniques used to perform lymphatic massage on the legs, but all have the same end goal: to release the fluid to go back up through the lymph nodes.

She advises people to set aside at least 20 minutes a day for lymphatic drainage massage. Your knee is now ready to take in fluid from the lower leg, so you can proceed to massaging the lower legs:. How do you know if lymphatic drainage massage is effective? When choosing a therapist, learn as much about their education as possible. Look for someone who is a certified lymphedema therapist CLT and preferably a physical or massage therapist with oncology and pathology training.
