What is Lymph Drainage?

Throughout the body are a series of lymph nodes and lymph glands which play a vital role with the Immune System and the removal of Toxins in the body.

 

Lymph is the plasma-like fluid that maintains the body's fluid balance and removes bacteria. The Lymph System runs alongside the Circulatory System but instead of being pumped through the body via the heart, it is moved along via muscle contraction and relaxation.

It is the Lymph System which clears our day to day waste products, unmetabolised fat and heavy metals.

When our lymph glands block, these toxins cannot be released from the body.

Consider the lymph system as the 'kitchen tidy' while the bowel can be considered as the 'outside rubbish bin'. Imagine your clogged 'kitchen tidy' not being emptied. DEFINITELY NOT GOOD !

Kylie's program of painless Lymphatic Drainage Massages can clear these toxins and help one regain former health and vitality.

It improves the activity of the lymph vessels and in the case of lymphedema re-routes the lymph flow around the blocked areas into more centrally located lymph vessels that drain into the venous system.

A Lymphatic Drainage Massage is also an extremely gentle but highly effective therapy for the many people with general swelling, puffy ankles and fluid retention. 

Untreated and over a long period of time, this condition may become chronic with pressure on the heart and kidneys. If you think you may have this condition, ring Kylie for an appointment, have it checked and definitely have it corrected.

Additional information is provided at the bottom of this webpage for those persons interested in the further effects of Manual Lymphatic Drainage.

 

 

Lymph Drainage Therapy

What does it involve?

Treatments last approximately 1 hour.

A medical history and general health consultation is taken to ensure Manual Lymphatic Drainage is an appropriate treatment for you.

Usually treatment involves concentrated work on the neck and 1 or 2 other body parts (e.g. Abdomen and legs or back and face), depending on your individual needs.

It is best to avoid alcohol and strong coffee after the treatment. Drink plenty of water and relax.

Intensive courses of treatment are most effective, however, Kylie will discuss with you the number and frequency depending on your individual situation.

For Persons Requiring Additional Information on MLD Therapy

The effects of Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) are numerous and generally it effects the nervous system, smooth muscles, fluid movement in the connective tissue and may have an effect on the immune system (though this has not yet been proven). Through the pumping and stretching effect on the lymph vessels, the Dr. Vodder method of Manual Lymph Drainage stimulates the contraction of lymph vessels, helping to move the lymph forward and drain the connective tissue. Scientific research in Europe (Hutzschenreuter, Mislin, Földi, et al.) has made this a well researched therapeutic technique.

Treatment is performed by certified Manual Lymph Drainage therapists who have undergone the post-graduate, training program. Manual Lymph Drainage can be utilized in the treatment of many different conditions including:

  • Primary and Secondary Lymphedema
  • Venous insufficiency
  • Non-infected inflammatory conditions (e.g. sprains and strains)
  • Ulceration
  • Dermatological conditions
  • Circulatory disturbances
  • Sports injuries
  • RSD
  • Burns
  • Pre- and post- plastic surgery

 

Lymph Vessel System

The lymph vessel system carries excess water, proteins and wastes from the connective tissue back to the blood stream. During the transportation process the lymph is cleaned, filtered and concentrated. Many immune reactions occur in the lymph nodes. If the pathways become congested, blocked, damaged or severed, then fluids can build up in the connective tissue leading to edema. Eventually cell pathology may begin. If there is damage in the connective tissue (e.g. burns, chronic inflammation, ulceration, hematoma), then the lymph vessel system must transport the damaged cells, inflammatory products and toxins away from the area. The quicker this can happen, the faster recovery will be.

History

Emil and Estrid Vodder, Danish physical therapists practicing in France, developed Manual Lymph Drainage techniques in the 1930’s. They carried out much investigation on the lymph vessel system and developed a series of light, rhythmic manipulations in order to stimulate lymph flow and fluid movement. Encouraged by their success with patients, they developed a systematic approach to treatment of the entire body which they called 'Manual Lymph Drainage'. Later, they established the Dr. Vodder Centre in Denmark and began teaching their method throughout Europe. They designated Hildegard and Günther Wittlinger in Austria to be their successors and to teach and to train teachers in this method. In 1971, the Wittlingers established the Dr. Vodder Schule in Walchsee, Austria – now an internationally recognized study centre for the method.

Kylie Hingerty studied at this same internationally recognised Dr. Vodder Schule in Walchsee, Austria under the personal guidance and teachings of Hildergard Wittlinger, making her one of Australia's most accredited practitioners in this highly specialised modality.
