Lymph drainage in Basel - EMR recognized
Welcome to our lymphatic drainage information page in Basel. Here you will learn everything important about this gentle and effective form of therapy, which can provide relief in case of a variety of complaints.
What is lymphatic drainage?
Manual lymph drainage (MLD) is a special massage technique that aims to stimulate the flow of lymph fluid in the body. The lymphatic system is an important component of our immune system and plays a crucial role in the removal of tissue fluid, metabolic products and pollutants.
In contrast to classical massage, the lymphatic drainage works with gentle, rhythmic movements and light pressure. This technique makes it possible to remove stashed lymphatic fluid and thus reduce swelling.
