Electro-Lymph Drainage Therapist, Melissa Gallagher, has studied lymphatics for over 6 years and has been implementing this specialized therapy to promote lymphatic health and move lymph flow in individuals who have recently suffered shock, stress, trauma, surgery or injury to the lymphatic system.
BENEFITS OF LYMPH DRAINAGE THERAPY (LDT) INCLUDE:
Assists weight loss
Alleviates cellulite tissue
Supports preventative health maintenance
Detoxifies the body tissues
Regenerates tissue, including burns, scars (pre- and post- surgical), stretch marks and wrinkles (especially on the face)
Relieves discomfort from fibro-cystic breasts
Supports post-mastectomy health
Relieves chronic joint and muscle pain
Removes pathogens via the lymph system
Promotes T-cell development, which assists persons who are HIV positive
Reduces edema (swelling) of many origins
A WIDE RANGE OF PRACTITIONERS USE LYMPH DRAINAGE THERAPY, INCLUDING:
medical doctors
osteopathic physicians
chiropractors
dentists
nurses
physical therapists
massage therapists, and
colon therapists.
HOW DOES ONE GET LYMPH TO MOVE?
Without a pump, the body's lymphatic system must depend on motion (exercise and/or massage) to propel lymph through its vessels.
Lymphatic massage is rigorous to the client as the therapist has to virtually squeeze the lymph through the lymphatic pathways, oftentimes leaving the client exhausted, and sore for days.
An easier Electro-Lymphatic Drainage Method is available to assist those who need increasing lymph flow. Since bodily fluids are conductors of electricity, in conjunction with specific frequencies, we use electricity and sound to break down congested lymph using a special tool called the Lymph Star Pro, the state of the art in electro-sound lymphatic drainage instrumentation. Each session is equivalent to eight to ten manual lymphatic drainage sessions.
As lymph is effortlessly moved through lymphatic pathways, the client is left feeling calm and rejuvenated, with none of the soreness that results from squeezing required in manual lymphatic massage.
WHAT IS ELECTRO-SOUND LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE?
Electro-Lymphatic Drainage is a one-hour accelerated method of cleansing and detoxifying the lymphatic system.
In a congested lymphatic system, lymph is thick, sticky, stagnant, laden with toxins and unable to circulate and eliminate wastes. Lymphatic congestion and toxicity reduce the electrostatic field of the proteins in interstitial fluids and contribute to thickening and clumping of lymph. Breaking down congested lymph fluid is painlessly achieved in a two-step process using the Lymph Star Pro.
Step 1: The client rests comfortably on a massage table. To increase electrostatic tension and stimulate lymphatic drainage, we employ high-frequency electro-sound therapy via two hand held glass wands. The device contains an oxygenating rare neon gas bulb that devitalizes bacteria, viruses, etc. The electric charges stimulate, re-polarize and re-establish ideal frequency and energy of individual cells, tissues, and the entire lymphatic system; producing a mild heating effect, increasing circulation, activating lymph, breaking up blockages, detoxifying, and enhancing immunity.
Step 2: Lymph (fat and cellulite) is directed manually along the limbs and torso (always in the direction of the ducts) with two probes of a micro-current stimulator on the Lymph Star Pro delivering a frequency-specific signal. This stimulates the lymphatic system and increases circulation, proper elimination, detoxification, cell nourishment, and immunity.
80% of overweight women have sluggish lymphatic systems according to new research.
Getting the lymphatic system running smoothly again is the key to easy weight loss and feeling great.
Many experts believe that a lazy lymphatic system is directly connected to the formation of cellulite because backed up fluid sticks' to fat cells.
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LYMPH DRAINAGE THERAPY
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in the body's immunity. It is a complex network of fluid-filled tubes that continuously bathes our cells and then carries away the body's "sewage" - toxins, waste products of metabolism, globules of fat, excess liquid - to filters called lymph nodes, where harmful substances are trapped and neutralized. The body contains three times more lymph fluid than blood. However, while blood has a pump - the heart - to keep it moving, lymph must be pumped by the movement of our muscles. The less we move, the more stagnant the lymph system becomes.
Other factors - such as illness, chemicals and pesticides in food, pollution - can also overload and stall the lymph system. And then, there's everyday stress that can shut down the lymphatic flow.
With today's sedentary lifestyles, pollution, constipation, and diets low in nutrients and high in fats, sugars, additives and preservatives, our lymphatic system becomes overloaded, congested, and clogged.
