Lymphatic drainage massage is a very soft and gentle form of massage. It uses a VERY light pressure combined with soft pumping action working in the direction of the lymph nodes only. It is designed to stimulate the body’s lymphatic system which helps the body to eliminate waste and toxins. It also improves circulation, metabolism and boosts the immune system. This course is written by Christine Courtney and is based on her unique method of “following the impediment to flow”.
